It Has 8 lanes for cars, two railway lines and 2 special lanes for pedestrians and Cycleway, you could say this bridge is the busiest bridge in Sydney. Although the 81-year-old bridge still looks sturdy and walk through it we can admire the beauty and greatness of its construction. It takes about 30 minutes to walk across the bridge as far as 1.2 km and the adrenaline jungkies .


There is also a Bridge Climb tour lasts 3 to 4 hours. In this tour we can walk past the arch bridge.In addition to walking and Bridge Climb, another way to enjoy this bridge is up to the Pylon Lookout is located in South-East Pylon, one of the four towers are located at each end of the bridge.
