Sydney Harbour Bridge
Sydney Harbour Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Sydney, Australia
The Sydney Harbour Bridge spans 1149 meters across the harbor, connecting the central business district with the North Shore through eight traffic lanes and two railway lines.
Construction began in 1923 under British firm Dorman Long, requiring 53,000 tons of steel and 1,400 workers over eight years before its completion in March 1932.
The bridge serves as a national symbol during celebrations, with fireworks displays during New Year's Eve and significant national events drawing thousands of spectators.
The bridge accommodates over 200,000 vehicles daily, features dedicated cycling and pedestrian paths, and maintains a clearance of 49 meters for maritime traffic underneath.
The structure holds the title of world's tallest steel arch bridge at 134 meters, requiring 272,000 liters of paint for its initial three-layer protective coating.
