	Sydney Harbour Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the major landmarks of Sydney, Australia, connecting the Sydney central business district (CBD) with the North Shore commercial and residential areas, both of which are located on Sydney Harbour.
		A museum and tourist centre with a lookout of the harbour is in the southern east pylon.
		During the Sydney 2000 Olympics in September and October 2000, the bridge was adorned with the Olympic Rings.

	Sydney Harbour Tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tunnel is made up of three sections: twin 900metre land tunnels on the north shore, twin 400-metre land tunnels on the south shore and a 960-metre immersed tube (IMT) structure.
		The Harbour Tunnel was a joint partnership between the NSW State Government and private investors via tender.
		The tunnel was opened to the public to walk through from North Sydney (Falcon Street) to South Sydney (The Domain), on August 27, 1992.

		The Sydney Harbour Bridge was the city's tallest structure until 1967.
		In 1958, the tram services across the bridge were withdrawn and the pair of railway tracks they had used were removed and replaced by two extra road lanes; these lanes are now the leftmost southbound lanes on the bridge and are still clearly distinguishable from the original six road lanes.
		Although the bridge carried north-side trams across the harbour for over 20 years, there was never a link from their terminal inside Wynyard station to the south-side tram lines outside that station, and the two parts of the Sydney tram system remained separate.

	★ Info about the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
		The Sydney Harbour Bridge, also affectionately known as the 'Coathanger', was opened on March 19th 1932 by Premier Jack Lang, after six years of construction.
		As Chief Engineer of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Metropolitan Railway Construction from 1912, Dr Bradfield is regarded as the "father" of the Bridge as it was his vision, enthusiasm, engineering expertise and detailed supervision of all aspects of its construction which brought Sydney's long held dream into reality.
		Steel members were fabricated in the workshops, placed onto barges, towed into position on the harbour and lifted up by two 580 tonne electrically operated creeper cranes, which erected the half-arches before them as they travelled forward.

		The cost to the community of the new road traffic generated by the opening of the tunnel wasn't considered in the economic justification for the project but it was real nonetheless.
		The extra motorists triggered a traffic crisis in East Sydney which was skilfully exploited by the RTA and tollway consortia to lobby for the Eastern Distributor.
		While the firm operating the tunnel may now be profitable, and while some motorists and construction firms may enjoy a large benefit from the tunnel, the community as a whole is the bog loser.

		The Sydney Harbour Tunnel is one of a number of major road tunnels in Australia, with more in the planning stages, particularly in Sydney.
		The Tunnel is 2.3 kilometres long and comprises two separate land tunnels on the north side of the Harbour, each just under a kilometre long and a further two separate land tunnels south of the Harbour, each just under half a kilometre long.
		The tunnel shares approach roads with the 70 year old Sydney Harbour Bridge and since its opening has dramatically eased the cross-Harbour traffic bottleneck which existed in Sydney.

	Sydney Harbour Tunnel Air lead Shock
		The ventilation exhaust system of the harbour tunnel enabled pollutant concentrations of carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, benzene, total hydrocarbons and other air toxins to be measured while the breakdown bays of each tunnel were used to measure total suspended particles (TSP), particles contributing to PM IO, lead in TSP and dioxins.
		The average T'SP concentration in the Southbound tunnel averaged 218 µg/M³ (ranging from 160-260 µg/M³) while the levels in the Northbound tunnel were higher, averaging 372 µg/M³ (ranging from 178-497 µg/M³).
		The higher values found in the Northbound tunnel are due to the position of the sampler on an uphill gradient where vehicles are under load.
