Pyrmont Bridge
Pyrmont Bridge crosses Cockle Bay at Darling Harbour and connects the inner city suburb of Pyrmont with the Sydney central business district. The swing bridge was opened in 1902 but has been a pedestrian bridge since 1988. It also carries an elevated monorail track which remains stationary so that the monorails can cross even when the bridge swings open for large boats. A Sydney Monorail can be seen here crossing the bridge, heading towards Harbourside station at Darling Harbour.
Very nice Jim.
ReplyDeleteAn old bridge well registed Jim
ReplyDeleteIs that you in the front carriage of the monorail Jim?
ReplyDeleteIt's a long way up Jim! but what fantastic views from there.
ReplyDeleteNicely composed shot, Jim.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday!
PS: @Joe - No, Jim is driving ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can remember traveling from Glebe to the city and passing over this bridge daily. I was glad when they didn't pull it down and made it a pedestrian bridge.
ReplyDeleteJim and Joe, difficult since I was taking the photo from King Street wharf. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty cool bridge and it's multifunctional too!
ReplyDeleteNice long perspective, good capture with the monorail crossing.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Jim, must be interesting to be on the monorail when the bridge goes up!
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat to see the monorail go past while the swing bridge was up!
ReplyDeleteVioletSky, it actually swings around rather than up.
