Hyland Highway is a road connecting the towns of Traralgon and Yarram in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. The highway was named after Sir Herbert Hyland, a popular politician for the Country Party in the Gippsland area.
Route
Highland Highway starts at the intersection of Princes Street and Breed Street, heading south as a dual-lane, single-carriageway road, nearly immediately crossing the Bairnsdale railway line just east of Morwell railway station, then heads east after a roundabout, then after another kilometre turns south to leave Traralgon's suburbs, curving around Loy Yang's open-cut coal mine, then heads south through Gormandale, through the eastern stretches of the Strzelecki Ranges, to eventually end at the intersection with South Gippsland Highway, 2 kilometres north-east of Yarram.
History
The road was originally known as Yarram-Traralgon Road and declared a Main Road by the Country Roads Board (later VicRoads) from at least 1955.[1]
The construction of the open-cut coal mine for Loy Yang Power Station in the late 1970s required the road to be re-routed along Traralgon Creek Road (west of the coal mine) and Bartons Lane (south of the coal mine); the former alignment is now known as Craigburn Place (to the mine's north) and Broomfields Lane (to the mine's south-east).
The passing of the Transport Act of 1983[2] (itself an evolution from the original Highways and Vehicles Act of 1924[3]) provided for the declaration of State Highways, roads two-thirds financed by the State government through the Road Construction Authority (later VicRoads). The Hyland Highway was declared a State Highway in December 1990,[4] from Traralgon to Yarram; before this declaration, the road was referred to as Traralgon Creek Road and Yarram-Traralgon Road.[4]
Hyland Highway was signed as State Route 188 between Traralgon and Yarram in 1990; with Victoria's conversion to the newer alphanumeric system in the late 1990s, it was replaced by route C482.
The passing of the Road Management Act 2004[5] granted the responsibility of overall management and development of Victoria's major arterial roads to VicRoads: in 2004, VicRoads re-declared the road as Hyland Highway (Arterial #6170), beginning at Princes Highway at Traralgon and ending at South Gippsland Highway in Yarram.[6]
