General Information:

National Route 1 formed part of the main coastal route between Victoria and Queensland. The route features a mix of rural highway, arterial and freeway design standards. The route forms part of what is collectively known as Highway 1. It is Australia's coastal highway joining all mainland's state capitals and coastal towns circumnavigating the entire Australian continent. At the time it was also the longest numbered highway in the world, covering more than 14 500 km.

In New South Wales, National Route 1 was truncated by National Highway 1 between Beresfield and Wahroonga, by Metroad 1 between Wahroonga and Waterfall and later by M1 at Tweed Heads West, as a result the route was split into 2 sections.

When National Route 1 was initially established, the Pacific Highway section began at the Tweed Heads town centre at the NSW-QLD border. It meandered south, mostly following the coast to Newcastle, then passed through Gosford, Brooklyn, Hornsby, Wahroonga, Chatswood, Artarmon, and North Sydney, concluding at Milsons Point. Subsequently, NR1 transitioned into the Bradfield Hwy, traversed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, weaved through the Sydney CBD via several streets, and finally journeyed south through Wollongong, the NSW South Coast, and towards the Victorian border along the Princes Highway. Since the 1950s, the route has been continually modified and redirected in response to evolving road conditions and changing traffic demands. By the time National Route 1 was decommissioned, substantial segments of the route had been significantly diverted from their original alignments or had undergone major transformations, bearing minimal resemblance to their initial configurations.

At the time of decommissioning, the National Route 1 section of the Pacific Hwy ran between Tweed Heads West and Hexham (west of Newcastle). The route was a mix of undivided rural highway standard, motorway or dual carriageway highway conditions. During the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, the route was altered significantly to bypass towns, tortuous mountain passes and sub-standard alignments.

The highway traces its origins back to an early settler, George Peat, who owned the land between the Hawkesbury River and Mooney Mooney Creek. To provide access to his property, Peat began a ferry service across the Hawkesbury River in 1844 and surveyed, then constructed a road between Hornsby and Kariong in 1854. After his death in 1870, the ferry service was abandoned and the road fell into disrepair, finally closing to all traffic in 1899, following the completion of the Sydney-Newcastle railway.

Demand for a route between Sydney and Newcastle dates back to the early 20th century. When the only access was via the sea or via a long route through the town of Wiseman's Ferry. In the 1920s, the then Main Roads Board undertook a series of surveys to form an easier and more reliable route north from Sydney. In 1928 construction began on upgrading the old road and converting it to a modern standard, plus creating a new route north, utilising some of the abandoned Peat's Ferry Rd, while improving the horizontal and vertical alignments. In May 1930 the ferry service across the Hawkesbury River was re-established to service the new road until such times that a bridge became necessary. June 1930 marked the completion of the concrete surfacing.

During the time of the Hornsby to Gosford construction, improvements were made to roads between Gosford to Newcastle as part of the link. On May 17 in 1929, the route was named as the Great Northern Highway. The work from Hornsby to Gosford cost almost £1 million, however it was money well spent, reducing the trip from Sydney to Newcastle from 9 hours to 4 ½ hours.

Pacific Highway:

June 1927: The completion of reconstruction of the North Coast Highway (now Pacific Highway) totalling 8 miles 64 chains (approximately 14 km) between Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads. Work consisted of the strengthening the existing foundation and adding a layer of bituminous macadam. ²

1930s: Construction of bridges along the Pacific Highway. A bridges was built over the Tweed River. ³ Paving of North Coast Highway (Pacific Highway) in concrete including a 2 mile section 9.5 miles north of Murwillumbah. ⁴

1933: Work began on reconstruction of an 8 mile length of Pacific Highway over the Burringbar Range. Construction begins on a bridge over Terranora Inlet at Tweed Heads South (Boyds Bay), which included a lift span that was 54 feet long and featured reinforced concrete spans, totallung 420 feet in length. ⁵

1934: The Pacific Highway on the northern side of Burringbar Range was deviated and reconstructed over a 2 mile length, eliminating one of the worst sections of the highway at that time. The new road provided a better curve radii and visibility, and a better gradient. Construction on a further section between 3 miles in length was also commenced. Work on a bridge to replace the existing ferry at Chinderah commenced over the Tweed River at Barney's Point. The bridge consisted of two 140 feet truss spans, a 61 ft. 6 in. bascule span and rolled steel joist spans. With the exception of the deck of the bascule span, which was made of timber for lightness, the whole of the carriageway was concrete. ⁶

1935: Construction commenced on a steel bridge over the Tweed River at Barney's Point. The bridge was 625 feet long and contained a bascule opening span 63 feet long, two 140 feet steel trusses and eight approach spans. The work eliminated the ferry service at Chinderah nearby. The bridge over Terranora Creek (Boyd's Bay) completed. It comprises a vertical lift span 54 feet long and twelve steel beam approach spans. The bridge replaces a nearby ferry and the approach alignment was considerably improved. ⁷

October 1936: Construction beings on a 5 mile deviation south of Burringbar. ⁸

1939: By this time, two thirds of the Pacific Highway was bitumen paved. ³

1947: Construction of a subway under the railway south of Crabbe's Creek. ⁹

1950: Construction of a reinforced concrete bridge over Dunbible Creek, 8 miles south of Murwillumbah. Length 111 feet. Work began on a reinforced concrete bridge over North Coast Railway line one mile south of Murwillumbah. This bridge is 123 feet long. Commencement of work on a reinforced concrete bridge over Burringbar Creek. This bridge is 200 feet long and features five spans. ¹⁰

1951: Construction of concrete bridge over the railway, 1 mile south of Murwillumbah. ¹¹

1956: 543 miles out of 574 miles of Pacific now with a bitumen surface. ¹²

1958: The bitumen surfacing of the Pacific Highway (576 miles in length) was completed. ¹³

1962: Climbing lane added to the Pacific Highway south of Murwillumbah. ¹⁴

1963: Widening of the Pacific Highway between Bangalow and Tweed Heads. ¹⁵

1966: Construction of divided four-lane carriageway from Boyd's Bay Bridge at Tweed Heads to the Oueensland border. ¹⁶

1967: Construction of a climbing lane was commenced north of Brunswick Heads. Reconstruction and bitumen surfacing were completed between 7.0 and 8.3 miles north of Murwillumbah, eliminating a length of narrow, damaged pavement. ¹⁷

1968: The widening of cuttings started north of Brunswick Heads, to enable the construction of a climbing lane for slow-moving vehicles. Reconstruction and bituminous surfacing were completed on the approaches to a new box culvert at McLeods Creek, near the town of Stotts Creek, eliminating a section of highway with a timber bridge on inferior alignment. Channelisation took place at the Pacific Highway and the junction of Ballina and Chinderah Road, Chinderah. ¹⁸

1970: Construction was concluded of a climbing lane on the Burringbar Range, south of Murwillumbah. Construction of a deviation was commenced at Condong, north of Murwillumbah. Construction of a channelised intersection was completed at the New South Wales / Queensland Border (Boundary and Clarke Streets). ¹⁹

1971: Reconstruction and bituminous surfacing were completed from Alma Street to Condong Creek, north of Murwillumbah. This work improved a section of narrow pavement. Completion of reconstruction between Boyd's Bay Bridge and the Queensland Border. ²⁰

1972: Construction of a deviation at Tumbulgum, north of Murwillumbah, was commenced. This work bypassed the village and replaced a narrow winding section of road. Construction of climbing-lanes on the Burringbar Range south of Murwillumbah was completed. Construction of a deviation at Tumbulgum north of Murwillumbah was commenced. The deviation bypassed the village of Tumbulgum. ²¹

1975: Work started on a dual carriageway construction between 30.3 km to 30.6 km north of Murwillumbah. ²²

1976: Reconstruction at Billinudgel was completed. ²³

21 October 1996: The southbound carriageway of Chinderah Bypass was opened to traffic. ²⁴

29 November 1996: The northbound carriageway of Chinderah Bypass was opened to traffic. Flyovers carry the Pacific Highway traffic across Wommin Bay Road and Chinderah Road, whilst an interchange provides access to local roads at Chinderah Road. The bridge over the Tweed River at Barneys Point, costing $10.2 million, provides six vehicle travel lanes and a combined walkway / cycleway. ²⁴

May 2000: Construction work on the Yelgun to Chinderah Freeway began. The Yelgun to Chinderah Freeway includes 3 interchanges, 11 overbridges including two arch bridges, 39 highway bridges, 36 cuts and fills, 2 fauna overpasses, 3 fauna underpasses and 2 rest areas. ²⁵

4 August 2002: Official opening of the Yelgun to Chinderah Freeway, which bypassed the winding Burringbar Range and the town of Murwillumbah. The route is 28.5 km of four-lane, divided carriageway. It runs from Dirty Flat Road at Yelgun to north of Oak Avenue, just south of Chinderah. The freeway shortened the Pacific Highway by 14.5 km. ²⁵

April 2006: Construction begins on Tugun Bypass, which crosses the NSW-QLD border. ²⁶

11 July 2007: The 8.6 kilometre dual carriageway upgrade of the Pacific Highway between Brunswick Heads to Yelgun was opened to traffic. ²⁷

June 2008: Tugun Bypass was opened to traffic. The 7 kilometre dual carriageway upgrade included four lanes with the provision to be upgraded to six. Grade-separated interchanges were constructed at Stewart Road, Currumbin and at the Tweed Heads Bypass, Tweed Heads West. The project includes a 334 metre tunnel underneath the Gold Coast Airport's runway extension and twin bridges over Hidden Valley. ²⁸

2013: NR1 decommissioned with the introduction of alphanumeric route numbering.
