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 a State politician from the 1920s.
The Bruxner Highway starts at its junction with the Pacific Highway at Ballina and links Lismore Casino, Tenterfield, Bonshaw and Boggabilla and terminates there.
It has the route number 44, though this seems to end at Tenterfield and the remainder of the highway has no route number. The highway currently passes through Alstonville although a bypass is planned.
It forms an important link between Ballina and Lismore, and to a lesser extent Casino and Lismore. At Yetman the Fossickers Way meets the Bruxner.
The road travels through the main street at Alstonville, although a bypass is planned. South of Texas the highway crosses the Dumaresq River.
