35 million dollars in the 1930 is not the same value as 35 million dollars today ..we have to apply chronological adjustment for inflation and that will bring it to over 500 million dollars 33 Likes 2 Shares

Make una dae lie small small o. San Francisco's City Engineer estimated the cost at $100 million (equivalent to $2.4 billion today), and impractical for the time. He asked bridge engineers whether it could be built for less.[11] One who responded, Joseph Strauss, was an ambitious engineer and poet who had, for his graduate thesis, designed a 55-mile-long (89 km) railroad bridge across the Bering Strait.[18] At the time, Strauss had completed some 400 drawbridges—most of which were inland—and nothing on the scale of the new project.[3] Strauss's initial drawings[17] were for a massive cantilever on each side of the strait, connected by a central suspension segment, which Strauss promised could be built for $17 million (equivalent to $404 million today).[11] 7 Likes |

Mbataku96: You don’t have to lie to make your point. The Golden Gate Bridge was constructed in 1933 at a sum of $35 million. $35m after adjusting for inflation is equivalent to $523 million as at 2019. So, what’s your point exactly? How can you be comparing a project of $39 million to a project of $523 million? What’s the sense in the comparison? Construction began on January 5, 1933.[11] The project cost more than $35 million[31] ($523 million in 2019 dollars[32]), and was completed ahead of schedule and $1.3 million under budget (equivalent to $24.5 million today).[33] The Golden Gate Bridge construction project was carried out by the McClintic-Marshall Construction Co., a subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel Corporation founded by Howard H. McClintic and Charles D. Marshall, both of Lehigh University. 9 Likes |

Most importantly, the construction of the bridge is a success. It's better than awarding the contract and nothing to show for it by the end of the day..like in the days of PDP reign. No investors investe in a country that lacks some infrastructures like Roads bridges, airports, just to mention but a few. 5 Likes |

Have u tried to know the cost of things then and how those same things cost now? Have u considered the transportation cost of those same things from where they were manufactured from? Have you thought about the naira to dollar issue we have in the country? Have you thought about the method of construction man power vs Machines? The reasons could be much more my fear |
