Map with all coordinates: The Hamilton Highway is a trunk road in the southwest of the Australian state of Victoria . It connects the Glenelg Highway in Hamilton with the Princes Highway in Geelong .
course
In the eastern suburbs of Hamilton, the highway of the same name branches off from the Lenelg Highway (B160) to the southeast. Through Penshurst it leads to Mortlake , where the Hopkins Highway (B120) meets it from the southwest.
From Mortlake, the Hamilton Highway continues east through Lismore and Cressy to Geelong, where it meets and ends on the Princes Highway. The highway originally ended in Hyland Street in Fyansford , a western part of Geelong. In 1931/1932, at the time of the Great Depression , a bypass road was built to combat unemployment. In 1933 the road, which was cut into the hillside and originally paved with concrete, was opened, 54 years after the first petition from the Fyansford people for the road to be built.
meaning
Together with the section of the Glenelg Highway from Hamilton to Mullawa, the Hamilton Highway represents an approximately 50 km shorter alternative route to the Princes Highway between Melbourne and Mount Gambier .
