It faced many setbacks during the process. The book chronicles the building of the iconic bridge including how bridge builder, Joseph Strauss, found solutions for addressing the harsh environmental conditions to ensure the safety of travelers and shipping vessels. Factors such as water depth, height, span, bedrock stability, high winds, and the risk of earthquakes all had to be carefully considered. Also includes detailed and extraordinary efforts to ensure workers' safety. Such precautions included netting to catch workers who fell while working and breathing equipment to protect workers from the harmful paint toxins were implemented.
