7 Bridges Walk crosses Sydney Harbour Bridge on 25 October
Transport for NSW lists the 7 Bridges Walk for Sunday 25 October 2026. The route includes Sydney Harbour Bridge, Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge and Fig Tree Bridge.
Participants can join at any of six villages, including Milsons Point Village at Bradfield Park near the northern end of the bridge. The event raises funds for Cancer Council NSW, and walkers use footpaths and dedicated shared paths in a clockwise direction. The transport authority expects thousands of participants and notes that some lane closures will support pedestrian movements. Its event information for 25 October names both the bridge and the date.
Sydney Harbour Bridge links a 1932 crossing to the walk
The bridge connects Dawes Point on the southern side of the harbour with Milsons Point on the north. It opened in 1932 after construction that began in 1924, and the Australian Government places it on the National Heritage List, inscribed on 19 March 2007.
The walking route gives the bridge a practical role rather than treating it only as a viewpoint: walkers cross its pedestrian path before continuing towards the other six bridges. The pedestrian walkway runs along the eastern side and is approximately 1.6km long, with stairs and lifts at both ends, according to Transport for NSW access information. The heritage history and listing are recorded by the Australian Government's National Heritage List entry.
Trackwork changes travel to the bridge on 25 October
Planned rail works will affect travel on Sunday 25 October 2026. Trains will not run on the City Circle or between Central and Wynyard, while the T1 North Shore Line will operate to a changed timetable.
Milsons Point Village is a short walk from Milsons Point Station, but Transport for NSW advises checking the Trip Planner and considering metro, light rail or buses. Event shuttle buses will run around the course from 8.30am to 4.30pm, with Milsons Point among the listed stops.
