The Sydney Harbour Bridge (continued)

Although the Bridge was designed originally with a central 17.4 m roadway, plus two rail tracks and a footway on either side, modifications increasing the number of traffic lanes, at the expense of the east side rail tracks, have taken place. The number of vehicles using the bridge is over 50 million per annum.
