Happy 86th GGB! If we were to build the Bridge now it would cost approx $1.64 billion. In 1937 the cost was $35 million. Whatever the cost, those views are priceless. View construction stats for the Golden Gate Bridge here: #Anniversary #GoldenGateBridge

On this day in 1937, the #GGB opened to vehicular traffic. President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the event to the world from the White House. Every fire siren in #SF and #Marin sounded, every church bell rang, every fog horn blew, and ships sounded their whistles.
