Epping Road

Epping Road is a 10-kilometre-long (6.2 mi)[1] is a major arterial road linking the lower North Shore and Sydney central business district to the north western suburbs of the upper North Shore and Hills District of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, being a major access road to the commercial, industrial and university areas of North Ryde and Macquarie Park.

The road continues at surface level in a south-easterly direction through Lane Cove West, before eventually terminating at an intersection with Longueville Road in Lane Cove, about 400 metres (1,300 ft) west from the junction of Longueville Road with Pacific Highway and Gore Hill Freeway.

When Hills Motorway opened in 1997, the western half of Metroad 2 was reallocated along it, leaving Epping Road west of North Ryde unallocated.

Some months after the opening of the tunnel and regaining traffic capacity, Epping Road was reconstructed to introduce dedicated bus lanes, a continuous cycleway on the southern side of the road, and right-turn lanes reinstated for westbound traffic at Parklands Avenue and Centennial Avenue, amongst other changes.

In mid-2011, work commenced on removing the entire median strip, wire barrier system, and native bushes from the section between Wicks Road and Delhi Road.
