Stott Highway is a 144-kilometre-long (89 mi)[1] state-controlled highway in South Australia, linking Angaston in the Barossa Valley, through Sedan and Swan Reach, to Pyap in the Riverland region.[4] It was named after Tom Stott, a member of the South Australian state parliament.
Route
[edit | edit source]Stott Highway commences at the intersection with Eden Valley Road just south of Angaston and heads in an easterly direction through Keyneton and Sedan, until it reaches the western bank of the Murray River at Swan Reach: the river is traversable by vehicular ferry. On the eastern bank, the highway continues east until eventually terminating at the intersection with Kingston Road in Pyap, just west of Loxton.[citation needed]
History
[edit | edit source]Previously known as Swan Reach Road, it was renamed Stott Highway in 2008, after Tom Stott, a long-time farmer in, and member of state parliament for, areas traversed by the highway.[2]
