Sydney Harbour Bridge

Nicknamed "the Coathanger" by locals because of its arch, Sydney Harbour Bridge is the widest bridge in the world. It carries vehicles and pedestrians from the commerical business district (CBD) to the North Shore. Locals and tourists alike enjoy the view of Sydney's harbor, and the entire city, from the Harbour Bridge. 

"[My favorite local landmark is] Sydney Harbour Bridge. Built during the Great Depression, it tells the story of hard work, camaraderie, and perseverance." -Mary M., Ithaca College
