The sweeping curve over Sydney's world-famous Harbour is 503 metres long, 134 metres high and 49 metres wide. Flanked by four towering concrete and granite pylons, it is the crucial centre piece of Sydney's transport network. The weight of the steelwork alone totals 52,800 tonnes and includes an extraordinary six million rivets.
Officially opened on Saturday 19th March 1932 by the Premier of the state of New South Wales, JACK LANG, the bridge has become an enduring international symbol of Sydney.
