As a fireworks show, this year the Harbour Bridge will emit 1000 more fireworks than in previous years. The size of the lineup is unprecedented. As we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, the bridge was filled with 10-0 fireworks from the bottom of 10 seconds in a piece of jade trees.
During the New year celebrations, Sydney will strengthen security measures, sending large numbers of police officers and professional teams in police uniforms or civilian clothes to stand by on-site.
The new state police said they would keep a close eye on the crowd and that once the flow reached the ceiling, viewing points would not be allowed in order to prevent overcrowding.
The site will also install obstacles, cement pillars and parking vehicles for counter-terrorism and prevention of other accidents.
Authorities also warned people to plan ahead of time if they planned to travel to Sydney`s CBD or (North Sydney), on New year`s Eve, and advised them to travel by public transport and avoid driving because a large number of roads would be closed.
