Does anyone know how many years it took to build Hadrian’s Wall?

Answer 1

Construction probably started in 122 AD and was largely completed within eight years.

Answer 2

Building of the Wall probably began in AD 122 with milecastles 4 to 7 and the bridge at Newcastle ( Pons Aelius ) and completed with Carvoran being rebuilt in stone in AD 136/7.

Hadrian paid a visit to Britain in 122AD during a tour of the provinces and the Wall construction began under the British governorship of Aulus Platorius Nepos who was a personal friend of Hadrian. Sometime in either 126 or 127AD Nepos was succeeded as governor and the Wall construction continued under Trebius Germanus.

Defensive Walls are make work projects - - - like many Federal & State jobs they may take years to complete and still not be complete... Give or take a few months the wall was under construction from 122 AD to 128 AD....

Here's links and snippets...

http://www.aboutscotland.com/hadrian/wall.html
"""By the time Hadrian became Emperor in 117 AD the Roman Empire had ceased to expand. Hadrian was concerned to consolidate his boundaries. He visited Britain in 122 AD, and ordered a wall to be built between the Solway Firth in the West and the River Tyne in the east "to separate Romans from Barbarians".
--------------During six years of building the wall reached its final basic form: From the south; an earth mound, then a ditch and further mound, then an open area on which a road was built to allow easy access to all parts of the wall all along its length, then the main wall itself, and just to the north of that, a deep ditch.
--------Many people mistakenly believe that the wall was built by slaves. But by today's standards we could say that the wall was a kind of occupational therapy for Roman legionaries; men from all over the Empire who had voluntarily joined the army probably needed such an exercise to keep them fit and busy in what was, at that time, a lonely outpost at the farthest edge of the world.

The Roman army numbered amongst its ranks highly skilled architects, mason builders, surveyors and carpenters as well as soldiers for whom the wall was an opportunity to express their talents and also be part of what they felt was the greatest civilising force in the west at that time. Local people may have willingly helped for not dissimilar reasons. And undoubtedly local people benefitted from trade in goods and services. """

This cite says eight years and has great pictures........
