History
Pennant Hills Road began its life in 1820 as a bullock track used by timbermen. It was surveyed by government surveyor James Meehan in order to provide a route from Ermington Wharf to the Pennant Hills sawmill established by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1816. Subsequently it joined the Lane Cove Road (now the Pacific Highway) further north and was sometimes considered the same road. It has been allocated several route numbers over the years, as follows: Ring Road 5(1964-1974) State Route 55(1974-1988) State Route 77(1988-1993) Metroad 7(1993- )but decommissioned south of the M2 in Dec 2005. Metroad 6(2005-)
