approximately three-miles long by one-mile wide with currents ranging from 4.5 to 7.5 knots. Just over
four years, construction commenced on January 5, 1933 and the dream of spanning the Golden Gate

May 28, 1937. Pedestrian Day was held on May 27, 1937. The 4,200 foot long suspension span of the
Golden Gate Bridge was the longest span in the world from the time of its construction in 1937 until now
it is still one of the 10 longest suspension bridges
