Since its completion in 1937, it has been one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and the United States. Designed by engineer Joseph Strauss and architect Irving Morrow, the bridge is renowned for its striking Art Deco design and magnificent orange color, known as International Orange, which enhances its visibility in San Francisco's famous fog. It stretches nearly two miles and carries both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across its span. More than just a critical transportation link, it is also a marvel of modern engineering and a major tourist attraction, drawing millions of visitors each year.:
