7 Bridges Walk crosses Sydney Harbour Bridge on 25 October
The 7 Bridges Walk takes place on Sunday 25 October 2026. Transport for NSW lists Sydney Harbour Bridge as the first of the seven crossings, followed by Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge and Fig Tree Bridge.
Participants can join the course at Milsons Point, Pyrmont, Rozelle, Hunters Hill, Lane Cove or Wollstonecraft. The organiser describes the route as a clockwise walk using footpaths and dedicated shared paths, with some lane closures supporting pedestrian movements. The Transport for NSW event information names the bridge, date and route together.
The 1932 bridge gives the walking event its first crossing
The bridge links the northern and southern shores of Sydney Harbour and carries road, rail, pedestrian and cycling routes. Steelwork began in September 1926, and the full project, including its approaches, took eight years before the bridge opened to traffic on 19 March 1932.
That history gives the 2026 walking route a clear physical sequence: its first bridge crossing takes place on a structure built to connect the same two sides of the harbour. Transport for NSW records the bridge as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark since 1988 and describes its continuing role in Sydney's transport network in its official bridge history.
