THE OLD DAYS: Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge took a total of 1,604 days, or just over 4 years and 4 months. Key construction facts: Start Date: January 5, 1933 Completion Date: April 19, 1937 Opening Date: May 27, 1937 Despite being built during the Great Depression and facing dangerous conditions, the project was finished ahead of schedule and under budget |
