Description
[edit]Hay Street's eastern terminus is at the junction of Elizabeth Street, with its western terminus at the junction with Darling Drive. After passing beneath the City Circle railway viaduct, it passes along the northern side of Belmore Park. At the intersection with Pitt Street, the Inner West Light Rail line cuts in having descended from Central station.[1] It then passes to the south of the Capitol Theatre to George Street where the Inner West Light Rail crosses the CBD and South East Light Rail. Passing through Haymarket, to the south of Chinatown and the north of Paddy's Markets, it then continues to Darling Drive.[2]
