Sydney Harbour Bridge precinct
Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority) is taking a coordinated approach with the myriad of projects that are occurring on, or around, the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
In all the work required to look after, improve and adapt the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the needs of a modern city, Roads and Maritime Services is committed to preserving the beauty and character of the structure, its setting – in the whole and in parts.
There is information on this website about the activities related to the bridge and its environs. Urban design, traffic, pedestrian, public transport, safety and maintenance projects all work together in this critical space that transfers an average of 204 trains, 160,435 vehicles and 1650 bikes per day based on September 2010 traffic count figures.
Latest news
The bridge is open - waterproofing and resurfacing is now complete
Essential bridge maintenance work was completed over the weekends of 13-16 and 20-23 January. No further closures are scheduled.
This is the first time in the Sydney Harbour Bridge 80 year history that we have stripped back to the original concrete deck to carry out essential maintenance. The benefits of the resurfacing and waterproofing include:
- Creating a smoother and more durable road surface.
- Reducing road noise as the new surface will be smoother and quieter than the current one.
- Reducing the risk of corrosion and structural damage on the bridge deck.
- Rejuvenating the bridge which will be 80 years old on 19 March 2012.
Roads and Maritime Services thanks you for your patience and support.
