Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Splendid Book of Engineering
The two halves were built slowly out wards from either side and for six years they were growing - either in the form of steel plates and girders in the making, or in being placed in position, until, in 1930, the connecting link was made in an arch which had a span of feet. The arch rises to a height of 410 feet, and there is always a headway of 170 feet at high water, and considerably more at low tide, thus the biggest steamship can enter without waiting outside for the tide to fall.

Excerpt from The Splendid Book of Engineering
The completion of the great bridge over Sydney Harbour marks the end of one of the greatest engineering ventures of the present century. The authorities would not agree to a bridge with less than a single span as it was desired to preserve that wonderful entrance to one of the finest harbours in the world.
The contract for the bridge was secured by the famous firm of Dorman, Long & Co., of Middlesborough, in the face of stern competition. The total cost of the bridge and its approach roads is not less than £6,000,000.
