Metroad 3 (Homebush 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.
A small section of the route is duplexed by a 'detour route' which is used when the M5 tunnel is closed. This duplex is marked as D5 from the M5 interchange to Stoney Creek Road at Beverly Hills.
