Bayswater Expressway

The Bayswater Expressway, also known as the Wentworth City Bypass, is a dual carrigeway tolled motorway in Wentworth. It provides a route between the Hounslow Expressway, which forms the northern part of the M10 Motorway, with the Wentworth central business district and the Borough of Bayswater. It acts as a bypass of the CBD for motorists travelling between the northern and southern suburbs. The motorway is only tolled between 6 am and 10 pm, and untolled outside of that period.

The Bayswater Expressway was first proposed in the 1960s, as congestion in and out of the inner city increased. The current motorway only forms one stage of the original proposal, with the other stage being the Cross City Tunnel to bypass the southern edge of the CBD. Construction began in 1975. The Cross City Tunnel was later cancelled in 1978. As a result, the motorway abruptly ends at Bayswater, forcing southbound traffic onto surface roads to continue the journey into the city and out to the south. There are plans to revive the Cross City Tunnel and connect the 'missing link' between the Bayswater Expressway and the Inner West Bypass.
