Harbour Bridge 80th Anniversary Connecting of Arches

The late Dr J.J.C. Bradfield's descendants have today scaled the Sydney Harbour Bridge to commemorate the union of the iconic arches of the Bridge that occurred 80 years ago.

Jim and Michael Bradfield, grandson and great grandson of civil engineer Dr J.J.C. Bradfield, acknowledged their ancestor who for over 30 years was the most active and influential person in promoting and overseeing the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

To pay tribute, Jim and Michael visited the summit of the lower chord on the Bridge, the very spot where 80 years ago the two arches came together as Dr J.J.C Bradfield observed nearby.
