CAHILL EXPRESSWAY
‘how the harbour looks from the city’
“The expressway’s location reveals the all-hail dominance of mobility in mid- century Sydney, and its design avoids any hint of the dynamic, aesthetic senses ” - Elizabeth Farrelly,2002

If the Cahill Expressway and the monumental granite architectural centrepiece were removed and replaced with minimal glazed canopies over the platforms, the public realm and station would be given a new life and the city would better engage with the harbour”- Philip Thalis, Public Sydney

CITY SCALE ANALYSIS
Every weekday in metropolitan Sydney people make around
seven million journeys that are shorter than two kilometres. More than three million of these short trips are walk only trips and a further three million are travelled by car. Many short car trips could be replaced with walking trips.

How can we make Sydney, a city pleasurable for walking?
How can we link the green and public spaces in the city?
How can we deal with the Cahill Expressway sustainably?
How can we retain and recycle an undesired elevated corridor of the city to connect and interlink green spaces and integrate a healthy suburbian lifestyle into city apartments?
How can we distinguish the transit and leisure movements?

CAHILL EXPRESSWAY : A BARRIER
UNFAVORABLE FOR WALKING
CAHILL DIVIDES PUBLIC PARKS
The Cahill expressway blocks the city from the harbour.
Alfred street is surrounded by transit which creates noise pollution and degrades the ambience for pleasure walks.
Cahill Expressway creates a rift between First Fleet park and the Royal Botanical Gardens. There is an entrance at the botanical garden end but none near the fleet park.
CAHILL DIVIDES PUBLIC SPACES It acts as a barrier in a cultural rich environment breaching visual connectivity between the Customs House, MCA and the Sydney Opra House.
proposed strategies....
RETAIN & GREEN IT Greening the Cahill expressway can breathe new life into a public spaces dominated by vehicular mobility for decades.
LEISURE ON TOP; TRANSIT AT THE BOTTOM The green walkway will restore activities at Alfred street without the transit chaos
CONNECT PUBLIC PARKS
CONNECT PUBLIC SPACES
The walkway will act as a bridge between the public parks and improve the green network.
The elevated platform will enable visitors to get a complete view of the harbour.
