If you're walking around Darling Harbour, this pedestrian bridge is conveniently located providing an easy way to get between Sydney's CBD and Pyrmont, and also effectively creating a loop around the Darling Harbour area so you can easily walk both sides of Darling Harbour in one direction. The bridge is able to retract to allow ships to pass and you will notice the fences and breaks in the bridge to facilitate it. Unfortunately this only happens when booked, which is not often, so there's not a lot of opportunity to see it in action. It's nonetheless definitely worth taking a stroll across the bridge where you'll get some great views over the harbour.

Magnífico. Otro puente magnífico en Sidney. Concretamente en Darling Harbour. "El puente Pyrmont se terminó en 1902. El nuevo puente de acero, cuya construcción llevó 33 meses,reemplazó a un puente de madera anterior construido en 1858. El nuevo puente se terminó a tiempo para dar cabida a los primeros automóviles de Sydney. El puente fue diseñado por Percy. Allan, quien diseñó más de 550 puentes. El puente Pyrmont fue el más grande del mundo en el momento de su construcción y fue uno de los primeros en ser alimentado por electricidad. El puente Pyrmont tiene 369 metros de largo y costó 112.500 libras esterlinas construirlo. El puente está formado por 14 tramos con madera de corteza de hierro australiana utilizada en 12 tramos, mientras que los dos tramos centrales, que se balancean, están construidos con acero. El puente Pyrmont tarda aproximadamente 60 segundos en abrirse por completo a 83 grados. Debe ser vadeado para embarcaciones de más de 7 metros de altura. En 1981, el gobierno ordenó que se demoliera el puente, pero más tarde revocó esta decisión. El puente fue cerrado al tráfico vehicular el 7 de agosto de 1981, ya que el tráfico se desvió por el distribuidor occidental. Luego se volvió a abrir como puente peatonal como parte de la remodelación de Darling Harbour. Entre 1988 y 2013, el puente albergó el monorrail elevado de Sydney. El puente giratorio sigue en funcionamiento y se abre según un cronograma administrado por la Autoridad de la Costa de Sydney. En 1992, Engineers Australia reconoció al puente como Monumento Nacional de Ingeniería. El puente se incorporó al Registro de Patrimonio de Nueva Gales del Sur ..." (Fuente ⛲: sydney _explained)

It is an old bridge and really nice views around while you are talking from one end to another. I got lucky to see how the bridge is opening up, basically rotating to make room for bigger ships to pass by. I uploaded that video for you to watch as well. One tip is if you want to go to the Circular Quay from Darling Harbour, use this bridge and come to the Pyrmont Wharf station, take a ferry and go there. You will have many beautiful scenes and it's worth giving it a try.

Lovey short bridge, I had a nice evening walk over there. It’s located at Darling Harbour, Port Jackson. It’s interesting to find out that it was opened in 1902, initially carrying motor vehicle between the central business district and Pyrmont, but since 1981 the bridge has carried only pedestrian and bicycle. Vehicles were diverted to adjacent freeway overpasses. Highly recommended to explore this part of the city.

This is the bridge you take to get to Pyrmont and Star Casino from Sydney CBD. The bridge offers great views of Darling Harbour and Sydney Harbour. Underneath and around the bridge are great restaurants and amenities like Sydney Wildlife World, Sydney Aquarium, Madame Tussauds, ICC (International Convention Centre), Harbourside Shopping Centre which has Hard Rock Cafe and many other great restaurants.

Historical bridge. It's built over 100 years ago. Well-maintained. It's across Darling Harbour connecting maritime museum and Cockle Bay Wharf. It is very good to catch a good view of Darling Harbour and capture the regular weekend fireworks (9pm). Be careful. Riding bicycles are allowed. There's an escalator and a public toilet under the bridge on the Cockle Bay wharf side. Very convenient.
