The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge connecting Sydney's central business district and the North Shore. Neighboring the harbor and the nearby Sydney Opera House, it's an iconic image for Sydney and Australia. According to the 2004 edition of The Guinness World Records, it is the world's widest long-span bridge. It's also the fifth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world, and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 440 feet from top to water level. The bridge is nicknamed "The Coat-Hanger" because of it's arch-based design.
