O'Connell Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

O'Connell Road is a New South Wales country road linking Oberon to the regional highway hub of Bathurst, where several roads including the Great Western Highway, Mid-Western Highway, Mitchell Highway and Bathurst-Ilford Road join. The road is designated as Main Road 253.

It is fully sealed over its entire length and of high enough standard to accommodate B-double trucks.

In conjunction with the Goulburn-Oberon Road from near the Hume Highway to Oberon, this scenic route provides a leisurely and surprisingly direct route between Bathurst and Goulburn.

There is a proposal to create an external Sydney Bypass, which would use O'Connell Road.

The only town on O'Connell Road between Bathurst and Oberon is O'Connell.
