Construction began in 1933, and it took four years to build the bridge. The actual cost ended up at almost $35 million; in the 75 years it has been in use, more than 2 billion cars have crossed the bridge
Not only is the GGB the most photographed bridge, it is easily the most conspicuous object on the planet sporting its signature color, International Orange. Technically a vermilion orange, the color was suggested by architect William Morrow during the bridge’s design phase. It had three objectives: to distinguish the bridge from the usual dull gray accorded such structures; to make it more visible in the bay’s famous fogs; and to help it blend harmoniously with its natural surroundings.
The suspended span of 4,200 feet was the longest in the world and remained so for 37 years, until New York’s Verrazano Narrows Bridge beat it by 60 feet in 1964. The two suspension towers, 746 feet above the water, were the tallest in the world. The construction project cost just 11 lives, a safety record by the standards of the times
