Executive summery
The bridge in Sydney is one of the largest bridges in the world. It is abridge that is composed of
the steel and an arch used for holding it. This bridge contains two lane of the tram, two lane of
traffic and two lanes of the train. The bridge is mostly used by the pedestrians, train and
Vehicles. The Bridge composed of the steel, the pylons that used for the support and the deck. It
has span of 503m and height of 134m.The construction has led to several benefits like, creation
of jobs as many people were involved in the maintenance and construction of the bridge, so
many new businesses were developed as a result the construction of this bridge, proper sources
of finance, there were many jobs that led to numerous sources of finance, amongst other benefits.

THE DESIGN OF THE BRIDGE AT SYDNEY HORBOUR 4
Introduction
Bridge known as Sydney Bridge is located in Australia at Port Jackson. The steel is the major
components that have been used in the construction of this bridge. Francis Greenway was the
first person that proposed the construction of this bridge as a result of the creation of the linkage
between the CBD of the Sydney and the north shore. The bridge was to be designed to
accommodate two lane of the tram, two lane of traffic and two lanes of the train. The arch was
also composed of steel that aided in the stability of the bridge. The construction was also
composed of the big steel metals thereby creating the complexity on the slid looks that is seen in
the arch. This report majorly deals with the design of the bridge, maintainability of the bridge,
requirements operation system and construction process. Pedestrians, train, and vehicle are the
major users of this Bridge. After the coordination and monitoring of the bridge by the British
firm for 10 years, the bridge was later opened for use. The measurement of this bridge was
estimated to be 134m from water level to the top of the bridge. This implies that this is the tallest
bridge in the work with the spinning that is the longest globally. The arch of the bridge is also
supported by the deck hence enabling the arch to be strong and therefore can be able to handle
any weight. The pylons are used to support the bridge, therefore ensuring that the bridge is held
in position (O’Ybole, 2014, p.11).
