The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia’s most recognisable structures, spanning the harbour to connect the central business district with Sydney’s northern suburbs. Completed in 1932, the steel arch bridge stretches 1,149 metres and rises 134 metres above the water. It carries road and rail traffic as well as dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists. Nicknamed “The Coathanger” due to its distinctive shape, the bridge is a key landmark in the city and often serves as the backdrop for major national events, including Sydney’s New Year’s Eve celebrations.
