Harbor Bridge - one of the symbols of Sydney, was erected across Port Jackson Bay and connects the South Bank - the business part of the city with the North Shore. Harbor Bridge was opened March 19, 1932, after almost nine years of construction, has a total length of 1149 meters. Because of its shape, the bridge received the local comic name "Hanger". The bridge provides eight-lane road, rail and pedestrian traffic. There are paid tours for people over 10 years old - climbing 200 steps inside the side pylon of the bridge to its top, from where a breathtaking panorama of the city and the bay opens with the famous
Opera House building on shore. Inside the pylon there is a small exposition telling about the construction of the bridge: photographs, drawings, drawings.
