Kosciuszko Road

Kosciuszko Road is a road in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, which runs from Pine Valley, to the ski resort of Charlotte Pass in Kosciuszko National Park.

Kosciuszko Road branches from the Snowy Mountains Highway in Pine Valley, nearly 7km west of Cooma, and heads roughly westwards, passing through the towns of Berridale and Jindabyne, before crossing the Thredbo River and entering Kosciuszko National Park. Within the national park, it provides access to Smiggin Holes, Perisher Valley and Charlotte Pass ski resorts, and terminates just past the entry to the latter.

The passing of the Main Roads Act of 1924 through the Parliament of New South Wales provided for the declaration of Main Roads, roads partially funded by the State government through the Main Roads Board. Main Road No. 286 was declared along this road on 8 August 1928, from the intersection with Monaro Highway (today Snowy Mountains Highway) at Pine Valley via Berridale and Jindabyne to Mount Kosciuszko; with the passing of the Main Roads (Amendment) Act of 1929 to provide for additional declarations of State Highways and Trunk Roads, this was amended to Main Road 286 on 8 April 1929.

The passing of the Roads Act of 1993 updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, Kosciuszko Road retains its declaration as Main Road 286, from Pine Valley to Charlotte Pass.

Kosciuszko Road is entirely contained within the Snowy Monaro Regional Council local government area.
