**__Amazing and Interesting Structures__**
When I did research on the internet about amazing and interesting structures, one that I really liked was the Golden Gate Bridge which joins San Francicso to Sausalito, California , USA.

The Golden Gate Bridge is 74 years old. It is made out of steel and concrete. It took 4 years to build and the engineers who built it belonged to The American Society of Civil Engineers.

The purpose for building the Golden Gate Bridge was to have a roadway above the harbour in California for vehicles to go from one side to the other.

The Golden Gate Bridge is special because it is the longest suspension bridge in the world!!

When I did research on the internet about Amazing and Interesting structures, one that I really liked was __The New York City Water Tunnel No.3__ which is located six hundred feet under __New York City__, __America__ __USA__.

__The New York City Tunnel No.3__ is being built by Grow Perint & Lehiavone and Shea along with many other Hydraulic Engineers.

__The New York City Tunnel No. 3__ was made of concrete and is built to hold water like a reservoir but is about 60 miles long.

Now it is 41 years of age but is estimated to be about 50 years old and about 60 miles long when it is to be completed which will be in 2020.

I think __The New York City Tunnel No.3__ is special because it is the largest Capital construction project in __The United States__ History and among the most complex engineering projects in the world day! It also supplys water to over 9 million people!
