Route
The Bruxner Highway starts at the junction with the Pacific Highway at Ballina and links Lismore, Casino, Mummulgum, Drake, Tenterfield, Bonshaw and Boggabilla where it terminates with the Newell Highway.
This state based road forms an important link between Ballina and Casino via Lismore. At Alstonville (near Ballina), a $90 million bypass has been allocated from the Federal Government at the cost of funds from the National Highway scheme. Further west from Tenterfield and the Bruxner Highway runs parallel and close to the Dumaresq River along with the Queensland border to Goondiwindi via Boggabilla and the Newell Highway.
Interestingly, route 44 is only signposted from the Pacific Highway near Ballina to the New England Highway in Tenterfield. It was intended that route 44 continued to Boggabilla to meet with the Newell Highway, however no on ground signage is evident in this region, and is unlikely to be signposted prior to the commissioning of the alphanumeric route numbering system.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
