- There are a lot of countries where a single piece of infrastructure, think the Eiffel Tower, symbolizes not only the city that it's in, but an entire country.

In the US, we're blessed with many, many of those from the Hoover Dam, to the Brooklyn Bridge, to the Golden Gate, and more.

The Golden Gate, there's something unique about it that just says, "This is what a great American bridge looks like."

(gentle music) - We love to build and we love the idea that something great was here before us and will be here beyond us.

They represent an arc of time that is greater than any of us, as individuals, will experience and so they connect us to the past and to the future, and they're also very beautiful.

(bold music) - We, as Americans, have the power, and the ability, and the talent to create marvels in this world and the ingenuity to do it.

So, I think about, what's the Golden Gate Bridge of the future?

What might that be?

What new technology or new ways of seeing, or doing, or being can help us advance from one place to the next?

And the Golden Gate Bridge literally was helping people go from one location to another.

I absolutely think Americans still have the ability to think big and to create transformative projects.

I really think that the sun has not set on American ingenuity.

- [David] The fact is, Americans are still capable of innovating and building for the future.

Look at internet infrastructure, or advances in telecom, or the James Webb Space Telescope.

We are connected digitally as well as physically.

- It's not just about the magnitude of our biggest projects, it's about the reach of our broadest visions and that happens often.

One stretch of road, one small airport, one bridge at a time.

- [David] The Golden Gate Bridge stands as a reminder that we are united by the connections we have forged, by the audacity of our dreams, and by our ability to make those dreams a reality.
