Metroad 3 (Mona Vale to Blakehurst)

Metroad 3 stretches from Mona Vale on Sydney's northern beaches to the Princes Highway at Blakehurst.

The route varies from a two-lane narrow winding road to high speed dual carriageways to typical urban 6-lane divided road

The route was first formally recognised as a continuous circumferential route in 1964 when it was given the Ring Road 3 shield. The route of Ring Road 3 at the time is largely the same as Metroad 3's route today, with the exception that Ring Road 3 travelled via the former State Route 27 through Strathfield. In 1974, when the State Route system was introduced and the Ring Road system abandoned, Ring Road 3 was renumbered State Route 33. Then in April 1993, State Route 33 was replaced by Metroad 3.

Roads along the route include Mona Vale Road, Lane Cove Road, Homebush Bay Drive, Concord Road, King Georges Road and more. The route passes through suburbs such as Pymble, Ryde, Rhodes, Flemington, Greenacre, Roselands and more.
