General Information:

B91 is a north-south route, which acts as an alternate route to Brisbane (together with Mt Lindesay Hwy (NR13) on the Queensland side of the border), via an inland routing.

The road is mostly undivided single carriageway, passing through undulating territory, and services rural, residential and commercial zones.

• B76 (Gwydir Hwy), for 200 m at South Grafton
• B60 (Bruxner Hwy), for 1.5 km in Casino

History:

• 1843: Surveyor James Charles Burnett surveys an old dray route, which eventually becomes Summerland Way. 2
• 1876: Construction of Irving Bridge over the Richmond River at Casino. It was the first McCallum truss bridge to be constructed. 2
• 1932: Opening of Grafton Bridge over the Clarence River. It carries both rail and road traffic. Road traffic uses the top deck, and rail travels underneath. The bridge replaced an old vehicular ferry. 2
