Snapshot: A New Ramp at the Sydney Harbour Bridge Offers a Serpentine, Step-Free Link for Cyclists

Cyclists in Sydney can finally say goodbye to lugging their bikes up 55 steps to access the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The new, 607-foot-long cycleway—which officially opened in January—delivers an uninterrupted, step-free link between the central city and North Sydney. A continuous bronze balustrade, conceived as a woven ribbon and patinated to achieve an aged look, wraps along the length of the serpentine ramp made from steel and concrete. Hand-laid in the path is a paving design depicting two eels migrating from saltwater to freshwater, a recognition that the bridge spans between Cammeraygal and Gadigal lands. The project was led by Aspect Studios, with architecture by Collins and Turner, engineering and industrial design by Eckersley O’Callaghan, heritage architecture and interpretation by Design 5 Architects, First Nations consultation by Yerrabingin, and collaboration with artists Jason Wing and Maddison Gibbs Wing.
