Skill and industry

The construction of the Cahill Expressway was an engineering feat. The City Engineer’s Department proudly documented the work of council labour. In the foreground you can see some of the workers taking a well-earned break while the photographer snaps away. This photograph was taken from the Bradfield Highway looking east along the route of the eastbound carriageway, 26 April 1956.
