EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, an iconic architectural marvel completed in 1932. Designed and built by the collaborative efforts of Dorman Long and Co Ltd from Middlesbrough, Teesside, and Cleveland Bridge, Darlington, County Durham, this engineering masterpiece spans the picturesque Sydney Harbour. The construction of the bridge's arch began in 1929, with two separate teams working in unison on each side. They employed creeper cranes to build the arch, which at the time was the tallest structure in Sydney. The bridge's impressive height and level precision were marked by the use of temporary markers, ensuring the alignment of the two halves of the arch was perfect. The Sydney Harbour Bridge's design is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its creators. With a total length of 1,149 meters and a clearance height of 44 meters, it was a significant achievement in the realm of bridge engineering. The bridge's liner spans, which were the longest of their kind in the world at the time, added to its architectural significance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a structure that continues to captivate visitors and locals alike. The bridge's enduring presence, with the ferries plying the waters below, adds to the vibrant energy of Sydney Harbour and the city as a whole.
