Sydney Harbour Bridge is the largest steel arch bridge and the widest Long span Bridge in the world and has become a renowned international symbol of Australia.
The official opening day on Saturday 19 March 1932 was a momentous occasion, drawing remarkable crowds （estimated between 300,000 and one million people） to the city and around the harbour foreshores.
The opening celebrations included a vast cavalcade of decorated floats, marching groups and bands proceeding through the city streets and across the deck in a pageant of surprising size and quality, considering the economic depression.
The celebrations continued with a gun-salute, a procession of passenger ships under the Bridge, a fly-past, fireworks, sports carnivals and exhibitions. After the pageant the public was allowed to walk across the deck…an event not repeated until the 50th anniversary of the Bridge in 1982.
Each day over 200,000 cars cross the bridge paying a toll of $2 each when entering the city.
Sydney Harbour Bridge:悉尼港口大橋
悉尼海港大橋是世界第一單孔拱橋。1924年悉尼海港大橋破土建造橋基,1932年3月19日竣工通車,歷時8年多。
在30年代的條件下,能在大海上凌空架橋,實為罕見。整個悉尼大橋橋身長度（包括引橋）1149米,從海面到橋面高58.5米,從海面到橋頂高達134米,萬噸巨輪可以從橋下通過。橋面寬49米,可通行各種汽車,中間鋪設有雙軌鐵路,兩側人行道各寬3米。
悉尼海港大橋是早期悉尼的代表建筑,它像一道橫貫海灣的長虹,與舉世聞名的悉尼歌劇院隔海相望,成為悉尼的象征。
