One influencer is surrounded by crowds of people before the camera pans round to show dozens of vehicles which appear abandoned on the road, bringing traffic on the bridge to a standstill. 

The queues of people watching can be seen stretching back along the bridge.

The video was filmed on November 17 and resulted in the police being called, but the influencers and the watching crowds were reluctant to leave.

The influencers reportedly travel from all parts of the nation to livestream from the bridge. 

It comes after hundreds of influencers flocked to a quiet Sydney street last year and blocked off traffic to snap the perfect Instagram photo of themselves among blooming Jacaranda trees.

The stunning canopies turn purple every spring, providing a spectacular profile picture for avid social media users – but locals on McDougall Street in Kirribilli on the city’s North Shore became furious about the added attention. 

Kirribilli residents found it difficult to move through the surrounding streets with social media-obsessed photographers often blocking traffic on weekends.

Instagrammers were regularly seen posing in the middle of the street trying to capture their best side, while photographers searched for the best angle of the blooming flowers.

The heavy street presence meant cars trying to make their way down the narrow road were often blocked by people taking photos, who scurried out of the way before returning back to obstruct the road.
