The **Marlborough Highway** is a minor highway in [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania). It links the [Lyell Highway](/source/Lyell_Highway) to the [Lake Highway](/source/Lake_Highway) and cuts short the otherwise very long journey from the West Coast to the [Central Highlands](/source/Central_Highlands_(Tasmania)).[1]

The road leaves the Lyell Highway near [Bronte Park](/source/Bronte_Park%2C_Tasmania) and travels overland to [Miena](/source/Miena%2C_Tasmania), on the [Great Lake](/source/Great_Lake_(Tasmania)). There are no settlements along its route.

Marlborough was an historical name for the area at the southern end of the highway, also known as Bronte, south of Bronte Park.[2]

The road is unsealed,[3] and in times of heavy snow it cannot be passed.
