A rainbow tunnel on a highway just off San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge has been officially named in honour of the late comedian Robin Williams, who had been living in the Bay Area when he committed suicide.
Two signs now mark the section of highway as the "Robin Williams Tunnel." Private funds paid the $3,000 (£2,100) cost of the two signs marking the tunnel entrance and exit.
Fans launched a campaign to name the tunnel in Williams' honour because it is located in Marin Country, where he lived, and because the tunnel's rainbow arch is reminiscent of the multi-coloured suspenders worn by Williams' in his breakout role as Mork in in the popular TV series Mork and Mindy.
Fans were stunned when Williams was found by his personal assistant hanging dead from his belt in his Marin County home in August 2014. He was 63.
The sweet, manic comedian, who battled addictions with cocaine and alcohol, suffered severe bouts of depression, anxiety and paranoia leading up to his suicide.
