The Hills Motorway (or M2 Motorway) was developed to connect Old Windsor Road, Seven Hills to Epping Road, North Ryde, and thus bypass the busy inner western suburbs.
In turn, Epping Road connects with GoreHillFreeway at Artarmon which leads to the Harbour Bridge and the CBD.
As part of the integrated freeway plans drawn up for Sydney in the 1950s, the F2 was originally planned to link to the Gladesville Bridge and then on to Anzac Bridge via a new set of elevated freeways behind Drummoyne, the land for which was sold by the Wran Labor Government in the 1980s.
The Warringah Freeway (also known as the Warringah Expressway and the M1) is a major road in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The freeway links the northern ends of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Harbour Tunnel to the GoreHillFreeway.
As its name suggests, the road was envisioned as the first stage of a freeway system for Sydney's Manly/Warringah area, however the road was never extended in this direction, partly due to the anticipated costs and perceived community opposition.
