Warringah Freeway

Warringah Freeway is a 3.5-kilometre (2.2 mi) divided freeway in Sydney, New South Wales that is part of the Sydney Orbital Network. The primary function of the freeway is to provide an alternative high-grade route from the Sydney Harbour Tunnel and Bradfield Highway at Milsons Point to the A8 and Gore Hill Freeway. The freeway reduces traffic demands on Pacific Highway throughout Sydney's Lower North Shore, bypassing North Sydney and Crows Nest, and provides a vital link to access most of the suburbs in Sydney and is also a major route to the north, south, east and west of the central business district.
