The Monash Highway (/ˈmɒnæʃ/) is a national highway located in southwestern Enderron, connecting the cities of Forsythia and Port William. It is named after the Monash Region of New Surrey Prefecture, which is named after Australian engineer and military commander John Monash.
For most of its history, the Monash Highway was a major transport route in southwestern Enderron and the main road connection across New Surrey. It has been progressively superseded in significance since the 1970s with the construction and opening of the M3 Motorway, which is named the New Surrey Expressway between Forsythia and Leightonfield and the Monash Motorway between Leightonfield and Port William. The M3 roughly follows the same route as the A3, except within New Surrey where it follows a deviation to the north, bypassing most of the Monash Region.
The original Monash Highway today receives significantly less traffic compared to the heyday of the 1950s, but is still well maintained as it forms the backbone of local traffic within New Surrey, particularly in the Monash Region. It was gradually upgraded to dual carriageway standards between 1988 and 2017.
