Monumentally The Sydney Harbour bridge has four pillars, two on each side where the cars pass through The Sydney Harbour bridge architectural design is like no other because, on a normal bridge there would be support poles halfway or on any other point Also it weighs over 50 000 tonnes and has no supporting poles so its very well designed On the four large pillars no two stone blocks are the same size or weight It has two large arches going from one side to the other that were put together from 1000 pieces

Groups of Buildings There are four pillars connecting the bridge from each corner It is situated in the central part of Sydney and stretching over the beautiful harbour, right next to the already inscribed Opera House, it connects the Northern and Southern parts of Sydney It has lots of history behind it and is near Cockatoo Island and the Governor-General House

Sites The bricks on the pillars had to be chiselled out from larger stones in other countries, and each took about two weeks to cut, then had to be shipped to Sydney Cove and then lifted from the ship and put into the right place It took a few years to build with 4,200 workers, that created lots of jobs for Sydney people It combines with nature by being stretched over the harbour
