The 'Murray Valley Highway' (Route B400) follows the south side of the
Murray River in
Victoria,
Australia. It effectively follows most of the northern boundary of Victoria. The western end of route B400 is the
Murray River bridge at
Robinvale, although the Murray Valley Highway crosses that bridge as National Route 16 to connect with the
Sturt Highway 2km further north. Historically, the Murray Valley Highway continued west to connect with the
Calder Highway at
Hattah instead of crossing the river. The eastern end is in the foothills of the
Great Dividing Range at
Corryong. Continuing further east crosses the border into New South Wales on the
Alpine Way.
Most of the highway is fairly straight and flat, much of it through
irrigated farmland. It becomes hillier and more winding east of
Wodonga, with a quite long and steep mountain pass near Koetong, between Tallangatta and Corryong.
The major towns along the route are
Robinvale,
Swan Hill,
Kerang,
Cohuna,
Echuca,
Nathalia,
Strathmerton,
Cobram,
Yarrawonga,
Rutherglen,
Wodonga,
Tallangatta and
Corryong.
