It’s the Centerpiece of Our City, But What’s the Story Behind the Golden Gate Bridge?

“At a time when America has become increasingly divided, it’s important to think about the things that connect us,” notes historian David Rubenstein, host of Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories. In the Bay Area, the Golden Gate Bridge is the centerpiece of our city, a structure that connects us to each other and to visitors worldwide.

But how much do we know about it? Why was it necessary to build it when ferries were already scurrying people into the city? Who pushed for and paid for it? What engineering marvels did it take to make it? And, looking forward, can America continue to build ambitious and bold infrastructure projects in the 21st century? Rubenstein looks for answers in the final episode of Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories,

The Golden Gate Bridge, which will be broadcast on August 1 on KQED 9 at 9pm. You can also stream it the same day on KQED Passport.

On a personal note, after decades in the Bay Area I’m returning to New York, leaving the magazine in the highly capable hands of On KQED’s new editor Elyce Berrigan, who you’ll meet in the next issue, and Sophie Kim, our editorial and production assistant.

When I first crossed the bridge I saw a unique city on one side and the wild Pacific, busy with boats, on the other. I was hooked by the innovation and beauty. As the song goes, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” part of it, anyway, with KQED and its members. It’s been an honor to steer this ship.

—Ellyn Hament, Managing Editor

DID YOU KNOW? Golden Gate Bridge

• The Golden Gate Bridge ironworkers, dubbed “sky cowboys,” handle 10,000 to 15,000 square feet of repairs monthly from as high as 746 feet up in all kinds of weather.

• Beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and in nearby waters, marine archeologists have discovered an estimated 300 shipwrecks, the earliest dating back to 1595.
