Over 90 years old, Sydney Harbour Bridge is the world’s largest steel arch bridge.
Sydney Harbour Bridge stands 134 metres above the harbour, making it the largest steel arch bridge. The bridge took eight years to build and within the first six years the traffic could finally cross it. Two years later, it was officially completed in March 1932.
