Sydney Harbour Bridge Cycleway | Project Completion

7 January 2026

The long awaited addition to the Sydney Harbour Bridge Cycleway is officially open!

Ending a decades-long challenge of bike riders lugging their bikes up 55 stairs at the northern end of the famous Coathanger, the cycle ramp fills a major gap in Sydney’s cycling path infrastructure. The new ramp creates a continuous north-south route across the Harbour Bridge with links from North Sydney through into the CBD via Kent Street.

Director of EOC’s Sydney office, Tom Donald, said:

“The engineering and industrial design of the Sydney Harbour Bridge cycleway ramp was an integrated part of the design response. Developed in close collaboration with architecture, landscape and heritage, the innovative asymmetrical design gives the freedom to conform to the competing constraints while creating the unique soffit geometry of the steel deck. The balustrade continues this rhythm at a detailed scale with optimised repeating cast elements connecting into a single undulating form.”

Well done to the EOC project team Tom Donald, Marley Meemeduma and Timothy Fong and the other core design team members who have delivered it from competition through to completion.

EOC is proud to have led the engineering, geometry and industrial design for the project and to have had the opportunity to collaborate with a great design team comprising of Collins and Turner (ramp architecture), Design 5 (heritage), ASPECT Studios (landscape), Yerrabingin (first nations consultation), Stantec (engineering), Electrolight (lighting design), Madwings Murals (paving artwork), built by Arenco for Transport for NSW.
