Gore Hill Freeway is a 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) dividedfreeway located inSydney,New South Wales that is part of theSydney Orbital Network andHighway 1. The primary function of the freeway is to provide an alternative high-grade route fromLane Cove toNaremburn and to reduce traffic demands onPacific Highway throughout Sydney'slower north shore, bypassingSt Leonards andGore Hill.^[3]

Route

[edit]

Gore Hill Freeway commences at the interchange ofPacific Highway and Longueville Road at Lane Cove, and heads east as a four-lane, dual-carriageway road, widening to 6 lanes a short distance later east of the ramps to the northern section of Pacific Highway. It curves to a southeasterly direction before terminating at the interchange atWarringah Freeway and Willoughby Road atNaremburn. Road signs designate Gore Hill Freeway simply asFreeway.

Forming part of the Sydney Orbital Network, the freeway provides access to most of the suburbs in Sydney; it is also a major route to the north, south, east and west of the metropolis.

Sound walls were pioneered as both art and architecture incorporating abstract road motifs inbas relief concrete and historical designs byWalter Burley Griffin. The language reinterprets local aboriginal rock engravings chipped into the ribbed retaining walls.^[4]

History

[edit]

Construction of the freeway commenced in August 1988 as part of theBicentennial Roads Program and opened to traffic on 26 August 1992.^[5] This connected Pacific Highway at Lane Cove to Warringah Freeway and eventually to theSydney Harbour Bridge via a high-standard freeway route, bypassing the congested section of Pacific Highway through North Sydney.

The passing of theMain Roads Act of 1924^[6] through theParliament of New South Wales provided for the declaration of Main Roads, roads partially funded by the State government through theMain Roads Board (MRB). With the subsequent passing of theMain Roads (Amendment) Act of 1929^[7] to provide for additional declarations of State Highways and Trunk Roads, theDepartment of Main Roads (having succeeded the MRB in 1932) declared Main Road 651 along the freeway, from the interchange with Pacific Highway and Longueville Road in Lane Cove to the interchange with Warringah Freeway and Willoughby Road in Naremburn (and continuing south along Warringah Freeway to North Sydney), on 22 January 1993.^[2] Despite its role as a grade-separated freeway, the road is not officially gazetted as one byTransport for NSW classification, and is still considered today to be a main road.^[8]

The passing of theRoads Act of 1993^[9] updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, Gore Hill Freeway retains its declaration as part of Main Road 651.^[8]

The freeway was allocated National Route 1, and State Route 28 was extended from its previous terminus (at Longueville Road and Pacific Highway in Lane Cove) along Gore Hill Freeway, when it opened in 1992. National Route 1 was replaced by Metroad 1, and State Route 28 was replaced by Metroad 2, in 1993; Metroad 2 was eventually removed when theLane Cove Tunnel opened in 2007. With the conversion to the newer alphanumeric system in 2013, Metroad 1 was replaced by route M1.^[10]
