When you arrive in Sydney, the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is the most prominent structure you see. This steel arch bridge spans Sydney Harbour, connecting the central business district with the North Shore. It's renowned for its stunning views and is often referred to as "The Coathanger" due to its shape. The bridge is a major landmark and a symbol of Sydney, attracting both tourists and locals alike.
Arch bridges are one of the world's most ancient bridge forms. The arch gives the bridge its essential strength. Between the engineer of the Sydney Harbour bridge, Ralph Freeman, and the designer, JCC Bradfield, this was seen as the best option for the purpose. Freeman felt that since the purpose of the bridge was to cross a wide harbour which often saw some fairly wild weather, the arch shape would be the most stable. Originally, the bridge's designer, JCC Bradfield, proposed a suspension bridge, then a cantilever bridge, which was the first proposal accepted. After that, Bradfield turned his sights towards an arch bridge, after travelling overseas and seeing the developments in light steel which made a steel arch bridge such a possibility.
Two major landmarks in Sydney are the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
