Cables connect the towers and vertical suspenders on the bridge and they have the capacity to hold the hanging deck. The Golden Gate Bridge functions to connect San Francisco and Marin County. Before the construction of the bridge, people traveled to and from San Francisco by ferries. Golden Gate itself is a strait with a length of 8 km and a width of 1 km.
