The bridge is 4200 feet between the towers, which is 60 feet shorter than the Verrazano-Narrows bridge in New York City. The total length of the bridge is 8981 feet. Other figures: Height: 746 feet; Width: 90 feet; Clearance underneath: 220 feet at mean high water. The Golden Gate Bridge was opened to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937 at twelve o’clock noon…over 70 years old. The Golden Gate Bridge took more than four years for construction at a cost of $35 million.
