	Castlereagh Highway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Castlereagh Highway is a state highway in New South Wales, Australia, also extending some kilometres into Queensland.
		The highway was recently extended past Gilgandra to include state route 86.
		As such the Castlereagh Highway starts just outside of Lithgow at a junction with the Great Western Highway and runs in a north-westerly direction past Mudgee and Gulgong, past Gilgandra until it reaches the Queensland border at Hebel.

		The County of Cumberland Planning Scheme of 1951 recognised the Highway would still be of the utmost importance to the Western Sydney region and thus a reservation was made between Mays Hill and Kingswood which would permit the widening of the highway to six lanes in the future.
		The Church Lane overpass and Ponds Road connection to the Highway were provided as part of the original deviation and the westbound on/off ramps were added in the mid-1980s (Paul Rands tells me 1985 but isn’t 100% sure) when the DMR widened the deviation to six lanes as well as upgrading and realigning Church Lane.
		West of Katoomba, the notorious Soldiers Pinch was realigned and the Highway widened to provide an three lanes (overtaking lanes in both directions) – completed in June 2002, and the a new four lane railway bridge on an improved alignment at Medlow Bath in December 2003.

		From Dubbo the Newell Highway, the main route from Melbourne to Brisbane, continues through the wheat plains of the northwest, their relentless flatness relieved by the ancient eroded mountain ranges of the Warrumbungles, near Coonabarabran, and Mount Kaputar, near Narrabri, with the Pillaga Scrub between the two towns.
