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:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
