It is known that the Brownian bridge or L\'evy-Ciesielski construction of Brownian paths almost surely converges uniformly to the true Brownian path. In the present article the focus is on the uniform error. In particular, we show constructively that at level $N$, at which there are $d=2^N$ points evaluated on the Brownian path, the uniform error and its square, and the uniform error of geometric Brownian motion, have upper bounds of order $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{\ln d/d})$, matching the known orders. We apply the results to an option pricing example.
