When was the Sydney Harbour Bridge built?
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is significant for being the largest steel arch bridge in the world, though not the longest, with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour. At 48.8 m wide, it is the widest bridge in the world (as of 2004). Construction of the bridge began in 1924, and took 1400 men eight years to build at a cost of £4.2 million. Sixteen lives were lost during its construction, while up to 800 families living in the path of the proposed Bridge path were relocated and their homes demolished when construction started. It is also significant for how it was constructed. The arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was built in two halves cantilevering from each shore and tying each half back by steel cables that were anchored into U-shaped tunnels excavated into the sandstone rock. Construction of the two halves of the arch began late in 1928, and the two halves were properly joined around 10pm on 19 August 1930. The Sydney Harbour Bridge provided a vital link for the city of Sydney across the harbour. Before it was built, the only way to travel between the southern side of the harbour, where the city centre is, and the residential north, was by ferry, or by taking a circuitous, 20 kilometre road route involving five bridge crossings. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is also significant because it is where the 28 May 2000 People's Walk for Reconciliation took place. The walk began at North Sydney station and finished at Darling Harbour, and involved some 250,000 people walking across Sydney's Harbour Bridge to show their support of the process of Reconciliation between Aboriginal Australians and white Australians.

Can the Sydney Harbour Bridge be climbed at night?
Yes, it sure can!I've climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge with my family. We did the night time climb and it was absolutley amazing!Don't worry though, it is entirely safe. As you walk up, it isn't that dark, the sun is setting, but when you reach the top (which takes all of about 90minutes - because the guide that takes you up there, stops every now and again to talk about the Opera House etc. which takes time)...it is pitch black.Before you even begin to climb, when you're getting ready to climb the bridge, you are given a head torch, so if it doesget too dark for you at any point, you can use it.If you ever get the chance, go ahead! Usually, it takes all of about 3hrs to get up and back, they take about three photos of you while you're climbing.- One with the background of the Opera House- Another with the background of the Sydney Harbour and the beautiful city lights on- And a final picture of you RIGHT at the top of the bridge.It was a wonderful time ... and that's coming from someone who is scared of heights!!
