The Irrigation Way^[1] is a major regional highway that runs approximately 88 kilometres (55 mi) 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 30 kilometres (19 mi) before reaching Leeton continuing another 55 kilometres (34 mi) 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.

Towns

Narrandera: Irrigation Way begins off the Newell Highway near the bridge over the Murrumbidgee River and 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the junction with the Sturt Highway. The Narrandera Airport is also located on the Irrigation Way, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Narrandera. Irrigation Way reaches the Shire of Leeton shortly after the airport.

Leeton: Irrigation Way begins in the Leeton Shire between Narrandera Airport and the turn off to Rockdale Beef. After travelling approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) the small village of Yanco is reached. The Yanco CBD is located on Irrigation Way as Main Street. Leeton is located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Yanco. Leeton's CBD is also found on Irrigation Way. On the southern approach to town there is schools, offices and residential properties before the main streets are reached. On the northern side of town large commercial and industrial properties are found before exiting Leeton. The villages of Wamoon and Whitton are bypassed before entering the City of Griffith Local Government Area.

Griffith: Irrigation Way is short in Griffith. It runs approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Leeton, where it reaches the village of Widgelli before it terminates at Yoogali at its junction with the Burley Griffin Way.
