Metroad 6 (Carlingford
to Heathcote)
Metroad 6 is a collection of local
roads that form one large route.
Metroad 6 currently starts at the Princes
Hwy & Heathcote Rd, Heathcote and terminates
at the interchange with the M2 Hills Motorway at Carlingford.
The route takes in several roads such as Marsden
Rd, Stewart St, Kissing Pt Rd, Silverwater Rd, St Hilliers
Rd, Rawson St, Olympic Drive, Joseph St, Rookwood Rd,
Stacey St, Fairford Rd, Davies Rd, Alfords Point Rd,
New Illawarra Rd, Heathcote Rd and passes through suburbs
such as Carlingford, Ermington, Auburn, Bankstown,
Barden Ridge & Heathcote.
Following the opening of the Westlink
M7 motorway on 16/12/2005, Metroad 6 was extended north
along Pennant Hills Rd from Marsden Road Carlingford
to the M2 Motorway. The signage change at the M2 motorway
was made on the night of Wednesday 21st December, however,
photos taken after this date in late December 2005,
show that not all signage has been updated.
