Pyrmont Bridge, Historic footbridge in Darling Harbour, Australia
The steel and timber Pyrmont Bridge stretches 369 meters across Cockle Bay, connecting the Central Business District to the suburb of Pyrmont.
Built in 1902 to replace an 1858 wooden structure, this bridge served as a motor vehicle crossing until its conversion to pedestrian use in 1981.
The bridge represents a vital chapter in Sydney's maritime heritage, with its swing mechanism allowing passage for boats through Darling Harbour since its construction.
Visitors can access the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney Aquarium, and numerous waterfront restaurants by crossing this central pedestrian thoroughfare.
The bridge contains original electric motors that operate the 1,000-tonne swing span, opening to 83 degrees in 60 seconds for maritime traffic.
