Some page soiling. Note taped to fep. The building of the Golden Gate bridge is expertly and completely described, indeed documented, in text and photography in this outstanding book. The politics, financing, engineering, building, personal experiences, beauty and public reactions to the processes and outcome of this amazing project that still awes us today is manifested in the bridges story presented in "Spanning the Gate". The bridge of unprecedented engineering, building and personal challenges was completed for $27,125,000 and with the inclusion of easement, engineering, and administrative costs totaled $35,000,000. The work was started in 1933 and finished in 1937. Consider that the project was done with 1930's technology. Although we know that the cost was in 1937 dollars and would be tremendously greater today. Values have changed in many ways. Considering the politics, the costs and opportunity costs, and risks it makes me question whether or not the job could be done today. We know that many other exceptional bridges and buildings have been built and we even have been to the moon, and expect to some day send humans to Mars. But we also know that we are more and more restrained, restricted in our endeavors to do great things. Just consider improving United States Infrastructure, so talked about by our leaders. By the way, the Golden Gate roadway was completely replaced in 1982 for $52.5 million. The job was scheduled for 400 days and was completed in 401 days and the bridge remained open to traffic using two lanes through the duration of the project. So, the Golden Gate Bridge was an exceptional undertaking in its own right and even more in comparison to other works in other times. This book is a tribute to all those who had the vision and the courage to make it happen and to give California and the country what we have today.…
