At Sydney's annual New Year's Eve celebration, which harbor landmark is crossed by the fireworks display?

Sydney’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration features fireworks around the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The bridge is one of the defining landmarks of Sydney Harbour, linking the central business district with the North Shore. Its steel arch and roadway provide a highly visible structure for the midnight fireworks, while the Sydney Opera House sits nearby on the harbor’s edge.

Sydney’s celebration is internationally prominent partly because Australia’s east coast reaches midnight earlier than many major Western cities. The event includes several fireworks presentations, including an earlier display for families and a larger midnight show. The exact designs change from year to year, so the bridge remains the stable landmark rather than a particular pyrotechnic effect.

A common mix-up is to identify the Opera House as the fireworks’ main landmark because it appears prominently in television images. Both structures are central to the harbor setting, but the bridge is the landmark named in the answer.
