Sutherland Road and its subsequent closure

For many years, Sutherland Road ran through both Beecroft and Cheltenham, and acted as a short cut between Beecroft Road and Epping Road. This road ran to the east of the Railway line and, during peak hour, was quite busy.


With the opening of the M2 motorway in 1997, Sutherland Road was closed at the Devlin's creek bridge - where the M2 enters a tunnel under North Epping. The result of this closure is that the areas east of the railway line are now very quiet - and the houses are now very expensive. 1997 is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Reef. ...
