The Leichhardt Highway is a major transport route in Queensland, Australia. It is a continuation northward from Goondiwindi of the Newell Highway, via a Script error: No such module "convert". section of the Cunningham Highway.[1]
It runs northward from Goondiwindi for more than 600 kilometres until its termination at the Capricorn Highway near the small town of Westwood.[2]
The highway is a state-controlled strategic road, except for the section concurrent with the Gore Highway, which is a state-controlled part of the National Network.[3]
History
It is named after Prussian explorer Ludwig Leichhardt who travelled a route in the 19th century that roughly parallels today's highway.
Upgrade
A project to replace the Banana Creek bridge, at a cost of $7.7 million, was completed in April 2022.[4]
