With New Year's Eve (NYE)  just around the corner, things are about to get very busy. NYE presents a great opportunity to work, with thousands of people in and around the city. Navigating these crowds is the key, so we’ve made a list of all the road closures to make your night a little easier. #### Sydney Sydney’s fireworks display is based around the harbour area, meaning road closures are in force on both sides of the harbour. With the Harbour Bridge closing at 11pm, it’s a good idea to be in the city before this time. Just for NYE lockouts will not apply for the CBD meaning the city should stay busy all through the night! Sydney Road Closures: - **2pm** roads in The Rocks and Circular Quay - **7pm** major roads north of Liverpool Street - **8.30pm** to **9.30pm** and **11.30pm** to **1.30am** Anzac Bridge and Western Distributor (citybound direction only) - by **11pm** city is locked down, with all roads north of Goulburn Street closed - **11pm** to **1.30am** Sydney Harbour Bridge closed #### Melbourne Melbourne’s fireworks display was designed to be viewed from any part of the city. However, this doesn’t mean the CBD will be quiet, with heavily crowded areas expected around Princes Bridge, Southbank and Flinders Street Station. Main Road Closures: - Swanston Street / St Kilda Road, Flinders Street, Collins Street, Exhibition Street, Southbank Boulevard, Flinders Lane, Little Collins Street, Elizabeth Street from **6pm - 3am** Full road closures:  ![Road-Closures](https://www.ingogo.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Road-Closures.jpg?width=536&name=Road-Closures.jpg) #### Brisbane Brisbane’s fireworks display is focused along the Brisbane river,  with main viewing areas around South Bank Parklands, Portside Wharf, Howard Smith Wharves, Eagle Street Pier, Riverside Centre, Waterfront Place, Kangaroo Point Cliffs, Captain Burke Park, Wilson Outlook Reserve.

Each area provides live entertainment and food and drinks, meaning they will all be busy by the time the clock strikes midnight.
