A new PBS series follows the engineering marvels of iconic American landmarks — and its last episode, focused on the Golden Gate Bridge, premieres tomorrow.

Driving the news: The episode not only delves into the technical feat of building the bridge but also its symbolism and the cultural influence of the city's immigrant workers, many of whom scaled the catwalk every day.

What they're saying: "Our goal with this series was to ... better understand the bigger issues and societal currents they reveal," David M. Rubenstein, host and executive producer of PBS' "Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories," said in a press release.

Details: The episode on the Golden Gate Bridge features interviews with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg; Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District general manager Denis Mulligan; and other infrastructure experts.

• It also includes anecdotes from original Golden Gate workers and devotes some time to one in particular: Fong Bing Wah, or Wallace B. Fong.

Finally got to watch the program (I recorded it on my DVR), truly amazing to see how it was designed and built in the 1930’s. Grew up on the East Coast, but live in the East Bay for the last 10 years. I rode my motorcycle over the GG Bridge couple years ago, very interesting.

Yes Chaz! And do you remember Delilah and Gillespie (the large blue one!)?

Nice. Are the flowers common chicory (Cichorium intybus)?

Imagine a crossover between Sesame Street and Looney Tunes, where the persistent Coyote is on his perennial quest to capture the Road Runner, and Marvin the Martian is audaciously stealing from the Cookie Monster.
