Today I spent half a day walking on the Golden Gate Bridge. First, it took me almost an hour to get to the bridge itself, then I walked for about forty minutes in one direction and the same amount of time back. I also went up to the viewpoint to truly enjoy the amazing views. My legs ache, I'm incredibly tired, but it was definitely worth it! #GoldenGateBridge #OutdoorAdventure #AmazingViews

The possibility of walking across is one advantage of bridges over tunnels.
It's no fun being stuck on an island with tunnels closed during an electrical blackout.

Manhattan in 2003: the ferries ran.
The bridges are accessible to pedestrians, like George Washington Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge.
