feet, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. the bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. the towers supporting the huge cables (巨缆) rise 746 feet above the waters of the golden gate strait, making them 191 feet taller than the washington monument. about 40 million cars cross the bridge every year. there are foghorns（雾角）to let passing ships know where the bridge
