What To Expect on New Year’s Eve
Sydney is renowned for its majestic fireworks. People try their best to reach vantage points from where they can see the lighting spectacle and create memories with their friends and families.
However, it is essential to be mindful of the traffic guidelines the New South Wales (NSW) government provides. Considering the Sydney CBD region is the centre of amazing New Year celebrations, roads around Sydney CDB will start closing in the early morning.
The closure starts at 4 am with Macquarie St north of Bridge St to the Sydney Opera House being the first streets to get closed. Roads near Circular Quay start closing early in the morning at 6 am; roads around The Rocks will be closed by 2 pm, while streets in the near Sydney CBD and Pyrmont suburbs begin to close around 7 pm.
Some roads around key vantage points in North Sydney, Milsons Point and Kirribilli will start closing early morning, and roads leading to the Cahill Expressway southbound lanes 7 and 8 on the Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay Overpass will close from 6 am on NYE. Likewise, the Sydney Harbour Bridge will close in both directions from 11 pm ahead of the midnight fireworks. If you plan to travel on the city-bound lanes of the Anzac Bridge, they will be closed for a few hours from 8:30 pm until the fireworks are over.
Pre-booking a taxi with a child seat becomes paramount to escape the crowded public transport and roads leading to Sydney Harbor Bridge.
