The Bruxner Highway is a trunk road in the northeast of the Australian state of New South Wales . It runs along the border with Queensland in an east-west direction and connects the Pacific Highway at Ballina with the Newell Highway in Boggabilla and thus the Northern Rivers region with the plateaus of the Northern Tablelands .

Origin of name

It is named after Michael Bruxner , longtime chairman of the National Party of Australia and former Minister of Transport.

course

The Bruxner Highway begins in the east at the junction with the Pacific Highway (R1) at Ballina, where it branches off to the west-northwest. In Lismore it turns sharply to the south, and soon afterwards again to the west-northwest. At Casino , the road crosses the Richmond River and Summerland Way (S91) and continues west through Richmond Range National Park and Mallanganee National Park . At Tabulam the highway crosses the Clarence River and turns west-southwest. Between Timbarra National Park , Boonoo Boonoo National Park and Bald Rock National Park , it leads over the ridge of the Great Dividing Range to Tenterfield , where it meets the New England Highway (N15).

The Bruxner Highway runs for a short distance to the northwest, together with the New England Highway, then turns west again and follows Tenterfield Creek and the Mole River to the place of the same name on the Queensland border. This boundary, which is formed by the Dumaresq River , follows the road in an arc to the south, west, north and finally northwest to south of the city of Texas . There it turns west again and crosses the Macintyre River at Yetman . There the Warialda Road (S95) joins from the south . The Bruxner Highway follows the southwest bank of the river to Boggabilla , again on the Queensland border and south of Goondiwindi , where it meets and ends on the Newell Highway (N39).
