History
The passing of the Main Roads Act of 1924[2] through the Parliament of New South Wales provided for the declaration of Main Roads, roads partially funded by the State government through the Main Roads Board (later the Department of Main Roads, and eventually Transport for NSW). With the subsequent passing of the Main Roads (Amendment) Act of 1929[3] to provide for additional declarations of State Highways and Trunk Roads, the Department of Main Roads (having succeeded the MRB in 1932) extended the western end of Main Road 173 from New South Head Road further west along Bayswater Road to William Street (and continuing west along William Street towards Woolloomooloo) on 2 December 1964.[4]
The passing of the Roads Act of 1993[5] updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, William Street retains its declaration as part of Main Road 173.[6]
The route was allocated State Route 76 through Rushcutters Bay in 1976, after the opening of the Kings Cross Tunnel, but was completely decommissioned in 2004.
A busy electric tramway to Watsons Bay once ran down the thoroughfare, this was closed in 1960, replaced by buses.[7]
