Building Background Do you know of any bridges in our area? Are there bridges over rivers or creeks? Where else are there bridges? How do you think these bridges were made? How long do you think it would take to build a bridge? Do you know where the Golden Gate Bridge is located?
Background Information • At the time of its completion on 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is 1.7 miles. It took four years and $35 million to build. • During construction, a safety net was used to keep the number of fatalities as low as possible. Eleven men were killed from falls, and nineteen men were saved by the safety net. Ten of the eleven deaths occurred when the scaffolding crashed into the safety net, as described in the story. • Many people did not believe that the bridge could be built or that it would stay up after it was built because the water is deep, and winds of up to eighty miles per hour can produce waves fifty feet tall. People also wondered what would happen to the bridge if another deadly earthquake struck the area.
