Cahill Expressway

The Cahill Expressway, viewed from the Art Gallery Road Bridge, up towards the city. This section of the roadway is in a sunken cutting between The Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Cahill Expressway was the first freeway constructed in Australia and opened to traffic in 1958. It is named after the then New South Wales Premier John Joseph Cahill, who also approved construction of the Sydney Opera House.

    Great shot...looks like going into downtown Dallas with just a few variations in buildings.

    Beautiful shot. I'd have to get used to driving on the other side of the road.

      There isn't much traffic in the middle of the day but it does get clogged in peak hours (morning and afternoon).

    Lovely road photo. Good to know that no dangerous goods are suppose to be trucked on this road.

    The signs are intriguing. Has me wondering how far ahead is the tunnel and if drivers have to stop and tell someone that they aren't carrying dangerous goods.

    Su-sieee! Mac, the tunnel is fairly close ahead but there is an off-ramp just to the left here so it's your last opportunity to leave the expressway.
