Cahill Expressway is an urban freeway in Sydney and was the first freeway constructed in Australia,[3] with the first section, from the Bradfield Highway to Conservatorium Place being opened to traffic in March 1958. It links the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, via an elevated roadway, a tunnel and cuttings between the Royal Botanic Garden and The Domain, to Woolloomooloo in Sydney's inner-eastern suburbs.
It is named after the then New South Wales Premier John Joseph Cahill, who also approved construction of the Sydney Opera House.
