Irrigation Way


The Irrigation Way is a major regional highway that runs approximately through the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area in south western New South Wales, Australia. Irrigation Way runs through three local government areas.

Route

It begins at the town of Narrandera on the Newell Highway and runs before reaching Leeton continuing another before reaching Griffith. The road is an important link between the three towns as it is a very productive farming region. The Irrigation Way provides a direct route between the national highway network and Griffith. The route is most important in linking Leeton to other regions of the state as it is the only major road passing through the town.
