Who designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge? |
Travel Info Who designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Travel Tips It was as early as 1815 that Francis Greenway proposed building a bridge from the northern to the southern shore of the harbour. However, after the First World War more serious plans were made, with a general design for the Sydney Harbour Bridge prepared by Dr J J C Bradfield and officers of the NSW Department of Public Works. The New South Wales Government then invited worldwide tenders for the construction of the Bridge in 1922 and the contract was let to English firm Dorman Long and Co of Middlesbrough. The tender of Dorman Long and Co. Ltd., of Middlesborough England for an arch bridge was accepted. The Dorman Long and Co's Consulting Engineer, Sir Ralph Freeman, carried out the detailed design of the bridge. So, I think the final design of Sydney Harbour bridge made by Dorman Long and Co's Consulting Engineer & Sir Ralph Freeman. Am I right?..
