The Bruxner Highway is one of the more obscure State highways in New South Wales, Australia. It forms an east-west link from the Northern Rivers coast, across the New England Tablelands in northern New South Wales, close to the border with Queensland. It is named after Michael Bruxner, member for Northern Tablelands and Tenterfield from 1920 to 1962, leader of the New South Wales Country Party for almost all that period and Deputy Premier and Minister for Transport from 1932 to 1941.^[2]

The Bruxner Highway starts at its junction with the Pacific Highway at Ballina and links Lismore, Casino,Drake,Tenterfield, Bonshaw and Boggabilla and terminates there.

This State based road forms an important link between Ballina and Lismore, and to a lesser extent Casino and Lismore. At Yetman the Fossickers Way meets the Bruxner. At Alstonville, a $90M bypass has been allocated funds from the Federal Government at the cost of funds from the National Highway scheme. South of Texas the highway crosses the Dumaresq River.

The Bruxner Highway road meets National Highway 15 at Tenterfield in the CBD and is a dangerous spot with little clear view of traffic on highway 15 when travelling East to West on 44. The Bruxner re continues again approxiametly 4 Kilometres North of Tenterfield at Sunnyside with the first 4 Kilometres with very poor road design with speeds down to 60KMH or less in some locations. Post this, the highway is of good quality and ease of 100KMH
