The Midland Highway is a highway in the center of the Australian state of Victoria. It connects the Maroonda Highway in Mansfield with the Princes Highway in Geelong, where the road leads around counterclockwise around Melbourne and thus all the major highways crosses emanating from Melbourne.

In Mansfield there is a 9-kilometer section of road, which is a western bypass of the city and is known as Midland Link Highway. It connects the Midland Highway to the Maroondah Highway, 13 km west of the city.

There used to be a short distance Midland Highway between the Princes Highway east of Morwell and Port Welshpool, without connection to the rest of the street. In the 1980s, this stretch of highway has been withdrawn.

Course

The Midland Highway is coming from the west Maroondah Highway ( B320 ) continues to the northwest. From the junction with the Midland Link Highway ( B300 ), he heads north to the city of Benalla, where it crosses the Hume Freeway ( NM31 ). From there, the Midland Highway describes an arc to the west until it reaches Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley Highway ( NA39 ) crosses. After West - southwest of the trail continues to the junction with the Northern Highway ( B75 ) in Elmore. There, the road turns off to the south west and reached Bendigo in the McIvor Highway ( B280 ).

Together with the Calder Highway ( A79 ) leaves the Midland Highway Bendigo south. In Harcourt he branches off the Calder Highway from the south-west and leads to Ballarat. Shortly before this city he crosses the Western Freeway ( NM8 ), the Ballarat bypasses to the north. From Ballarat from the Midland Highway continues its way to the southeast, and finally reach the city center of Geelong, where he meets the Princes Highway (A10 ) and ends.
