Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened to traffic on 19 March 1932. The bridge was built to connect the Sydney CBD with the North Shore commercial and residential areas on Sydney Harbour. Prior to this, the closest crossing was much further upstream. In 1912, John Bradfield was appointed chief engineer of the bridge project, which also had to include a railway. Plans were completed in 1916 but the start of World War I delayed implementation until 1922. Construction of the bridge began in 1924, and took 1400 men eight years to build at a cost of £4.2 million. See the related link for more information.

The original bridge was built by the Romans nearly 2000 years ago and there have been various other bridges on the site since then. The current bridge was completed in the 1970's.
No, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is not the first suspension bridge ever built. It was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1864, but earlier examples of suspension bridges date back to ancient times, such as the Inca rope bridges in South America and various timber suspension bridges in Asia. The first modern suspension bridge is often considered to be the Menai Suspension Bridge, completed in 1826.
The Golden Gate was built between 1933 and 1937.
