Golden Gate Bridge Opens to Traffic 25 Years Ago
The Golden Gate Bridge opened to traffic on May 27 1987 after a decade of planning and four years of construction. It spans 6500 feet across the bay linking San Francisco with Marin County. The project cost 35 million dollars with no state or federal aid and now bills itself as a memorial to veterans and a major engineering feat.
