Retrieved on 11 May 2008.〕 is a short highway in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The Barton Highway connects Canberra to the Hume Highway at Yass, and it is part of the route from Melbourne to Canberra and is named in honour of Sir Edmund Barton, the first Prime Minister of Australia. ==Route and history== Proclaimed a state highway in 1935, it was officially named as the Barton Highway in August 1954, signposted as National Route 25 two years later, fully sealed by 1960, and granted national highway status in 1974. The original purpose of the ''Yass-Canberra Road'' was to connect surrounding towns with the newly established national capital. Prior to the highway's establishment a series of trunk routes connected farming locations in the Yass Valley. Heading east from Yass, the Barton Highway originally commenced at a junction on the Hume Highway, near the historic Cooma Cottage, and east of the Yass River. Requiring traffic to make a righthand turn across a single lane of the Hume Highway, the highway commenced at this point and tracked generally south by southeast, through undulating hills to the village of and entering the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), going through the village and main street of , and meeting the Federal Highway at at a junction near Sullivans Creek on Mouat Street, adjacent to Lyneham High School and to the south of Highway's current alignment.〔 The first realignment occurred during the late 1970, when the southern terminus of the highway was relocated north, to the north of the Yowani Country Club.〔 In 1980 the village of Hall was bypassed; and during the early 1990s a dual carriageway was completed on the ACT section of the highway, between Hall and . A further section of dual carriageways was completed in December 2002, between Gungahlin Drive and the southern terminus with the Federal Highway.〔 Between April 1993 and May 1995, as part of the Hume Highway bypass of Yass, a dual carriageway deviation of Barton Highway was constructed to connect the Barton Highway with the new route of the Hume Highway, north of Yass. The new route crosses the Yass River on twin bridges to the east of Cooma Cottage before terminating at the Hume Highway about northeast of Yass.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barton Highway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
