The bike-only [[cycleway]] is located on the western side of the bridge. Access from the northern side involves carrying or pushing a bicycle up a staircase, consisting of 55 steps, located on the western side of the bridge at Burton Street, Milsons Point. A wide smooth concrete strip in the centre of the stairs permits cycles to be wheeled up and down from the bridge deck whilst the rider is dismounted. A campaign to eliminate the steps on this popular cycling route to the CBD has been running since at least 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sydneyharbourlink.com/page/about |title=HarbourLink |publisher=Sydneyharbourlink.com |access-date=9 June 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140126184320/http://www.sydneyharbourlink.com/page/about |archive-date=26 January 2014  }}</ref><ref>[http://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/www/html/5539-harbourlink-project.asp HarbourLink – North Sydney Council] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022020136/http://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/www/html/5539-harbourlink-project.asp |date=22 October 2012 }}</ref> On 7 December 2016 the [[Minister for Transport (New South Wales)#Minister for Roads|NSW Roads Minister]] [[Duncan Gay]] confirmed that the northern stairway would be replaced with a {{AUD}}20 million ramp alleviating the needs for cyclists to dismount. At the same time the NSW Government announced plans to upgrade the southern ramp at a projected cost of {{AUD}}20 million. Both projects are expected to be completed by late 2020.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-07/sydney-harbour-bridge-cyclists-due-for-$35-million-ramp-upgrade/8100856 |title=Sydney Harbour Bridge cyclists can expect $35 million bike ramp and upgrade by 2020 |work=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]] |location=Australia |date=7 December 2016 |access-date=7 December 2016 |author=McNally, Lucy |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161207205619/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-07/sydney-harbour-bridge-cyclists-due-for-$35-million-ramp-upgrade/8100856 |archive-date=7 December 2016 |url-status=live  }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/new-ramps-and-cycleways-for-sydney-harbour-bridge-20161207-gt5niy.html |title=New ramps and cycleways for Sydney Harbour Bridge |work=[[Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=7 December 2016 |access-date=7 December 2016 |author=Stempien, Filip |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161207182717/http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/new-ramps-and-cycleways-for-sydney-harbour-bridge-20161207-gt5niy.html |archive-date=7 December 2016 |url-status=live  }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/central-sydney/plan-in-the-works-to-ramp-up-access-to-sydney-harbour-bridge/news-story/94ae236ba37dcb8744fdce006da6e4a0 |title=Plan in the works to ramp up access to Sydney Harbour Bridge |work=[[Daily Telegraph (Sydney)|Daily Telegraph]] |location=Australia |date=8 August 2016 |access-date=7 December 2016 |author=McNab, Heathery |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161115193210/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/central-sydney/plan-in-the-works-to-ramp-up-access-to-sydney-harbour-bridge/news-story/94ae236ba37dcb8744fdce006da6e4a0 |archive-date=15 November 2016 |url-status=live  }}</ref> Access to the cycleway on the southern side is via the northern end of the Kent Street cycleway and/or Upper Fort Street in [[The Rocks, New South Wales|The Rocks]].<ref name=finder>{{cite web |url=http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/bicycles/cyclewayfinder/index.html |title=Cycleway Finder |edition=Version 3 |work=[[Roads & Maritime Services]] |publisher=Government of New South Wales |year=2016 |access-date=4 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229181959/http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/bicycles/cyclewayfinder/index.html |archive-date=29 December 2016 |url-status=live  }}</ref>
