The Sydney Harbour Bridge will close to traffic on Sunday 25 June from 4am to 10.30am for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™️ Sydney Harbour Bridge Unity Celebration.

The Sydney Harbour Tunnel will remain open but delays are expected so motorists are urged to allow extra time or defer travel until after 10.30am.

“Trains will continue to operate across the bridge and pedestrians and cyclists can use the Sydney Harbour Bridge footpath and cycleway during this ticketed event,” Transport for NSW A/ Chief Operations Officer, Mark Hutchings said.

“Traffic diversions and special event clearways will be in place so motorists should plan ahead and read signs carefully to avoid being towed.”

Citybound traffic from the Anzac Bridge will be diverted via the Bathurst St off-ramp and all traffic accessing the Western Distributor from Fig St and Pyrmont St will be diverted via the King St off-ramp.

Operators of freight and Oversize Overmass vehicles or vehicles carrying dangerous goods should use the Victoria Rd and Gladesville Bridge detour route.

Special event clearway parking restrictions will be in effect between 3am and 10.30am on key roads in North Sydney and between 6am to 10.30am in the Sydney CBD to accommodate traffic on detour routes.

FIFA event ticketholders can catch trains to and from Milsons Point Station where staff will direct ticketholders onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
