'''Epping Road''' is a {{convert|10|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}}<ref name="gmaps" /> is a major arterial road linking the lower [[North Shore (Sydney)|North Shore]] and [[Sydney central business district]] to the north western suburbs of the upper North Shore and [[Hills District, New South Wales|Hills District]] of [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]], being a major access road to the commercial, industrial and university areas of {{NSWcity|North Ryde}} and {{NSWcity|Macquarie Park}}.

==Route==
Epping Road commences at the intersection with Blaxland and Beecroft Roads in [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]] and runs in a south-easterly direction as a four-lane, single carriageway road, widening into a dual-carriageway road after crossing Terrys Creek into [[Marsfield, New South Wales|Marsfield]]. It crosses over [[Lane Cove Road]] at an interchange in [[North Ryde, New South Wales|North Ryde]], then straddles the [[M2 Hills Motorway]] on either side before crossing the [[Lane Cove River]] shortly afterwards, where the motorway continues underground into the [[Lane Cove Tunnel]]. The road continues at surface level in a south-easterly direction through [[Lane Cove West, New South Wales|Lane Cove West]], before eventually terminating at an intersection with Longueville Road in [[Lane Cove, New South Wales|Lane Cove]], about {{convert|400|m}} west from the junction of Longueville Road with [[Pacific Highway (Australia)#New South Wales|Pacific Highway]] and [[Gore Hill Freeway]].

==History==
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.{{Citation needed|date = December 2014}}.

The passing of the ''Main Roads Act of 1924''<ref>[http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/num_act/mra1924n24133/ State of New South Wales, ''An Act to provide for the better construction, maintenance, and financing of main roads; to provide for developmental roads; to constitute a Main Roads Board''] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220811000905/http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/num_act/mra1924n24133/ |date=11 August 2022 }} 10 November 1924</ref> 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 (New South Wales)|Department of Main Roads]], and eventually [[Transport for NSW]]).

The full length of the route, between Blaxland Road in [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]] and Longueville Road in [[Lane Cove, New South Wales|Lane Cove]], was officially named '''Epping Road''' on 9 September 1959.<ref name="nswgovgaz59">{{cite news |title=Main Roads Act, 1924-1958 |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/219942815 |work=Government Gazette of the State of New South Wales |issue=108 |publisher=National Library of Australia |date=25 September 1959 |pages=2903 |access-date=29 June 2023 |archive-date=29 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629064426/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/219942815 |url-status=live }}</ref> Main Road 373 was extended one last time, with its eastern end running along Longueville Road to terminate at [[Pacific Highway (Australia)|Pacific Highway]], on 22 February 1967.<ref name="nswgovgaz67">{{cite news |title=Main Roads Act, 1924-1965 |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/220339722 |work=Government Gazette of the State of New South Wales |issue=25 |publisher=National Library of Australia |date=17 March 1967 |pages=895 |access-date=29 June 2023 |archive-date=26 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221026082016/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/220339722 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the 1960s and 1970s, Epping Road was further reconstructed as a mostly six lane arterial road, a major road project which lasted more than 10 years and involved the widening of the bridges at Lane Cove River and Stringybark Creek to six lanes. As vehicle use increased traffic congestion increased.

The passing of the ''Roads Act of 1993''<ref>[https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-1993-033 State of New South Wales, ''An Act to make provision with respect to the roads of New South Wales; to repeal the State Roads Act 1986, the Crown and Other Roads Act 1990 and certain other enactments; and for other purposes.''] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220811000905/http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/num_act/mra1924n24133/ |date=11 August 2022 }} 10 November 1924</ref> updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, Epping Road retains its declaration as part of Main Road 373.<ref name="nswroadsched">{{cite web |url=https://roads-waterways.transport.nsw.gov.au/business-industry/partners-suppliers/lgr/documents/classified-roads-schedule.pdf |title=Schedule of Classified Roads and Unclassified Regional Roads |author=[[Transport for NSW]] |date=August 2022 |publisher=Government of New South Wales |access-date=1 August 2022 }}</ref>

The route was allocated part of State Route 28 in 1974, before it was replaced as part of Metroad 2 in 1993. When [[M2 Hills Motorway|Hills Motorway]] opened in 1997, the western half of Metroad 2 was reallocated along it, leaving Epping Road west of North Ryde unallocated. The remaining stretch of Metroad 2 remaining along Epping Road was eventually reallocated along the Lane Cove Tunnel when it opened in 2007.

[[M2 Hills Motorway|Hills Motorway]] opened in May 1997, diverging from Epping Road north-west of the Lane Cove River, and bypassing North Ryde and Epping. The [[Lane Cove Tunnel]] opened in March 2007, joining with the motorway to run underneath Epping Road and bypassing Lane Cove. Some months after the opening of the tunnel and regaining traffic capacity, Epping Road was reconstructed to introduce dedicated bus lanes, a continuous [[Bike Paths in Sydney#Naremburn to North Ryde Cycleway|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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/constructionmaintenance/majorconstructionprojectssydney/lanecovetunnel/background.html |title=Project background |publisher=rta.nsw.gov.au |access-date=16 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080103000833/http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/constructionmaintenance/majorconstructionprojectssydney/lanecovetunnel/background.html |archive-date=3 January 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy}}</ref> These changes were part of the contractual agreement between the state government and the developers of the [[Lane Cove Tunnel]], prior to the tunnel's construction.

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.
