7 Bridges Walk crosses Sydney Harbour Bridge on 25 October
The event is scheduled for Sunday 25 October 2026. Transport for NSW lists Sydney Harbour Bridge among the seven crossings, alongside Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge and Fig Tree Bridge.
The route follows footpaths and dedicated shared paths in a clockwise direction, with some lane closures supporting the movement of walkers. Transport for NSW event details identify Milsons Point Village at Bradfield Park as one of six possible starting points. The other villages are in Pyrmont, Rozelle, Hunters Hill, Lane Cove and Wollstonecraft.
Sydney Harbour Bridge connects the event to Sydney history
The bridge carries road, rail and pedestrian traffic between Dawes Point and Milsons Point. Its steel arch spans 503 metres between the bearings, while the deck sits 52 metres above the water, according to Engineers Australia heritage records.
It opened to traffic on 19 March 1932 and remains a working transport artery rather than a detached monument. That distinction shapes the October event: the bridge is one section of a connected harbour route, while participants move through the surrounding city on existing pedestrian and shared paths.
The bridge was designed under the direction of chief engineer John Bradfield, and its granite-faced pylons stand at the two abutments. Engineers Australia records its recognition as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark and a National Engineering Landmark.
