Introduction

The Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932 and is among the world's largest steel arch bridges, nicknamed the 'Coathanger' for its shape. Spanning the harbour, it links the CBD with the North Shore and, with the Opera House, forms Sydney's classic postcard — climbing its arch reveals the whole bay. Lit at night, the steel arch answers the Opera House across the water.
