Which bridge is the centerpiece of Sydney, Australia's New Year's Eve fireworks display?

Sydney Harbour Bridge is the centerpiece of Sydney, Australia's New Year's Eve fireworks display.

Sydney's celebration is staged around the harbor, with fireworks launched from and around major landmarks including the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The bridge's steel arch provides a highly recognizable frame for the midnight spectacle and is visible from many waterfront vantage points.

The event has become one of the world's most widely broadcast New Year's celebrations because Sydney reaches midnight early in the day for many European and American viewers. Its program typically includes aerial displays, lighting effects, and performances before the main midnight fireworks.

The bridge opened in 1932 and connects Sydney's central business district with the North Shore. It is sometimes confused with the nearby Opera House as the answer to this question, since both landmarks feature prominently in images of the celebration; however, the bridge is the structure used as the display's signature centerpiece.
