Sydney Harbour Bridge

architecture · Sydney · engineering · iconic

Nicknamed the Coathanger. The bridge got this funny nickname because its curved arch design looks just like a clothes hanger hanging over Sydney Harbour.

Carries everything across. This bridge isn't just for cars, it also lets trains, bikes, and people on foot cross from one side of the harbour to the other.

Made of steel. The bridge is built from massive steel pieces fitted together to form a strong arch that spans across the entire harbour.

Australia's most famous sight. People from all over the world come to Sydney just to see the bridge, especially standing next to the Opera House for the perfect photo.
