A little more perspective
The Golden Gate Bridge district distinguishes the tower’s 746-foot height above water from its 500-foot height above the roadway. This record uses the published water reference and converts feet exactly; it does not add the submerged foundation.
The isolated tower section preserves its cross-bracing and the roadway level. Cables may continue outside the bounded section, but the full bridge span is not compressed into a tower-height picture. The baseline represents the operator’s water reference, not an observed tide today.
