History
Children from Longburn School crossing SH56

SH 56 used to connect SH 1 at Himatangi but was rerouted to intersect SH 57 in the mid 1990s. The eastern terminus used to connect to SH 3 at the intersection of Main and Princess Streets but recently the section between there and Maxwells Line has lost its highway status.[1]
