Since its completion in 1930, the Sydney Bridge has been one of the city's landmarks and a world-famous structure. In the old days, climbing the steel arch of the Sydney Bridge was the audacity of university students, and I don't know if they were inspired, but since 1998, the Sydney Bridge has been open to the public to climb, and ordinary people have had the opportunity to be adventurers. What's it like to climb to the top of a bridge?
Tremble with fear? Dangerous? Neither.
In fact, the whole climb is very safe, but the "Bridge Climb Sydney" offers a guided tour to the top of the bridge 134 meters above the water, and the crazy high-altitude experience will definitely stop your breath for a while. But when you reach the top of the Sydney Bridge, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable.
Before boarding the bridge, you must pass a spirometry test, a breathalyzer test, a metal detector, and you must sign a medical certificate and a contract form before you are allowed to climb. All of them will be given a climbing suit before the start. In addition, if you are climbing at night, there will be a light special light for climbing the bridge.
The entire bridge climb lasts 3 hours.
Visitors who make it to the top of the Sydney Bridge will receive a souvenir** and a certificate of successful ascent to show off to your friends.
The history of the bridge: Sydney Bridge, known as the world's first single-hole arch bridge, is a representative building of early Sydney. It took more than 100 years for the bridge to take more than 100 years from "conception" to "birth".
After more than 40 years in the making, Sydney engineer Peter Hudson drew the first design in 1857, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1932.
Under the conditions of the 30s of the last century, it was rare to be able to build a bridge in the air on the sea. 10,000 tons of giant ships can pass under the bridge, the bridge deck is 49 meters wide, can pass all kinds of cars, the middle is laid with a double-track railway, the sidewalks on both sides are 3 meters wide, Australians describe the shape of the Sydney Bridge as an "old-fashioned coat hanger". Today's Sydney Bridge, the north end bends into a large arc, connecting the northbound motorway, and the south end extends into the city of Sydney.
Whenever night falls, the steel frame of the bridge is lit up with 10,000 lights, and from a distance, it is colorful and brilliant.
Beautiful Vision: The Sydney Bridge and the Sydney Opera House are adjacent to each other, and when the Opera House and the Bridge are connected together, the majestic and graceful, dark and light colors, straight lines and curves form a beautiful picture of strong contrast and harmony.

It is impossible to verify where the world's first bridge came from and who did not have the hands of the potato man. Because since there were roads, when people encountered rivers and ravines, they thought of overcoming them in some way. The original bridge may have been just a tree trunk or a stone slab scattered on the banks of a small river ditch or on a reef in the middle of the river.
Later, on this basis, the first wooden and stone bridges appeared.
Bridges generally refer to structures erected on rivers, lakes and seas to enable vehicles and pedestrians to pass smoothly. In order to adapt to the rapid development of the modern transportation industry, bridges are also extended to be buildings erected to make traffic more convenient for crossing mountain streams, poor geology or other traffic needs. The bridge is generally composed of a superstructure, a substructure, a bearing and an ancillary structure, and the superstructure, also known as the bridge span structure, is the main structure for crossing obstacles; The substructure comprises abutments, piers and foundations; The bearing is a force transmission device that is arranged at the supporting place of bridge span structure and bridge pier or abutment; Ancillary structures refer to bridgehead laps, tapered slope protection, bank revetments, diversion projects, etc.
