SYDNEY: The Sydney Harbor Bridge, one of Australia’s top tourist attractions, is set to get a “game changing” makeover with new climbs and interactive technologies, officials said on Friday. Climbing the so-called Coathanger—one of Sydney’s most-photographed landmarks and the centerpiece of the New Year’s Eve fireworks- has been a bucket-list attraction for celebrities and tourists. The new operators Hammon Holdings said they would make the structure more affordable and accessible. “Our vision is to recreate the people’s bridge,” chief executive David Hammon, who runs a tourist attraction in the scenic Blue Mountains north of Sydney, said in a statement. BridgeClimb said since opening in 1998, it has served more than four million customers from over 140 countries.
