The Barton Highway is a short highway in New South Wales, Australia. The Barton Highway connects Canberra to the Hume Highway at Yass, and it is part of the route from Melbourne to Canberra. It is named after Edmund Barton, the first Prime Minister of Australia.
At Yass, it forms a multilevel junction with Hume Highway, which bypasses Yass. The old bypassed Hume Highway section is now named as Yass Valley Way. The Barton Highway passes through farmlands and Murrumbateman. With commuting population between Canberra and Yass on the increase, the highway is planned to be upgraded to dual-carriageway with bypasses along the way.
