PEARCES CORNER, WAHROONGA
Terminus of Metroad 1, Metroad 7 and State Route 83
Pearces Corner is the meeting of Pacific Highway (State Highway 10) and Pennant Hills Rd (State Highway 13) at Wahroonga, in Sydney's northern suburbs. Historically, it has always been a route terminus with Ring Road 5 (1964-1974), State Route 55 (1974-1988) and State Route 77 (1988-1993) all having terminated at this intersection. Today, this intersection is the northern extremity of the Sydney Metroads system and is duly the northern terminus of both Metroad 1 and Metroad 7. Also, since the opening of the F3 Freeway between Berowra and Wahroonga, State Route 83 has its southern terminus here.
