San Jose is found in the San Francisco Bay area and makes up with Oakland and San Francisco, the key section of the urban part of the Bay Area. San Jose has many claims to fame, including the world renowned Silicon Valley, the so-called birth place of computers. As part of one of the biggest urban population centers globally , San Jose is linked to surrounding towns, towns and areas by a singular infrastructural network made from roads, railroads, subways, highways, tunnels and most famously, bridges.

In reality the bridges in San Jose are a definition of the city and help define it's place on the U. S. urban map. The San Jose bridges fall into different categories vis type but the key kind of bridge found in and round the city are suspension bridges. Visiting these bridges is well worth it, but enthusiasts might want to check out the rates on the rental autos San Jose has to offer.

Historically Significant Bridges in San Jose

Probably the best example that fits into this class is the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge, one whose construction started in Jan 1933 and finished in April 1937. Its design and unique colour (beautifully startling orange) as well as it's size have made it one of the most photographed synthetic objects in the world.

Bridges with Famous or Significant Architecture

The Golden Gate Bridge fits this class as well. However , the Fillmore Street Bridge has gained serious fame for perhaps the wrong reasons since 2009 over troubles about it's stableness. A steel and concrete design, it is built, like most bridges, to be in a position to expand and contract varying with temperature divergences, which ensures it's steadiness. This has however resulted in a specific quantity of tilting, which implied news stories online covering the bridge, and it received a big spike in the amount of hits.

Highly traveled bridges

Once more, the Golden Gate features in that group. Along side this would feature other bridges like the Dumbarton Bridge just off Route 84 near Palo Alto that has some of the statistically most busy traffic along it.As part of the California infrastructural network, San Jose bridges are examples of the most hectic in the US, and of course some of the best known. However , they all pale in importance when compared to the Golden Gate Bridge. On your visit to San Jose be sure to be aware of the bridges that you cross, and enjoy their architectural and engineering brilliance.
