The Mallee Highway (formerly the Ouyen Highway on the Victoria side) runs east from Tailem Bend in South Australia through cereal-growing farmland at the southern end of the Murray Mallee to Pinnaroo near the border with Victoria, where it crosses route B57 (from Bordertown to Loxton). It continues in Victoria through Ouyen, where it crosses the Calder Highway A79 (the old Ouyen Highway finished here and never proceeded east), and Piangil, where it crosses the Murray Valley Highway B400.

Two kilometres north of Piangil, another separate road crosses the New South Wales border and the Murray River at Tooleybuc and links to Balranald, where the Sturt Highway (National Route 20) crosses the Murrumbidgee River.
