Epping to Chatswood via Epping Rd 4k Drive || Sydney Roads

Описание: Today's video is about driving along one of Sydney's major arteries, Epping Road.

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

Epping Road was originally constructed in the late 1930s as an entirely-new road, in contrast to most other main roads in Sydney, which had routes originally established in the early 19th century. The road was divided by a beautiful centre strip that was so wide that people would park and picnic there. It was designated as State Route 28 from 1974 to 1993 and then Metroad 2 from November 1993 until May 1997, when Metroad 2 was moved onto the M2 motorway. A short stretch of Metroad 2 remained on Epping Road in the Lane Cove area until March 2007, when the Lane Cove Tunnel opened.

Epping Road is a major arterial road and is well served by public transport. There are a number of bus stops along the road, and it is also served by the North Shore railway line, with stations at North Ryde, Macquarie University and Epping. The road is also a major route for cyclists and pedestrians, and there are a number of bike paths and walking tracks along the route.

Epping Road is a major commercial and industrial area, and is home to a number of large businesses, including the Macquarie University campus, the Australian Technology Park, and the North Ryde Town Centre. The road is also home to a number of schools, including Epping Boys High School, Epping Girls High School, and North Ryde Public School.
