The Marin Tower (north side) was built from November 1933 to October 1934 followed by the San Francisco Tower(southside) from January 1935 to June 1935

Bridge main span, which supports the roadway, was assembled in sections that were constructed concurrently from the south side and the north side.

On November 18, 1936, the two sections were joined in the middle.

Golden Gate Bridge Chief Engineer Joseph B. Strauss

The Golden Gate Bridge opened to traffic on May 28, 1937

It takes 17 painters a whole year to repaint the bridge from one end to the other.

Perhaps the most secured job in the world?
