Sydney Harbour Bridge (Sydney, Australia)
Nicknamed “The Coathanger” due to its arch-based design, the Sydney Harbour Bridge connects Sydney’s central business district to the north shore. This steel arch bridge carries traffic from pedestrians, bikes, vehicles and rail. The dramatic and amazing view of the bridge, the nearby Sydney Opera House, and the harbour is an image of Sydney (and also Australia) that is quite iconic. The design of this bridge was actually influenced by New York’s Hell Gate Bridge.
