History
The Main Roads Board (MRB) was founded on 1 January 1925 pursuant to the Main Roads Act 1924. It took over responsibility of the New South Wales road network from local councils.[1] It also took over the council's loans from the New South Wales Treasury. At the time of its formation, it was responsible for 20,700 kilometres of roads.[2]
The MRB ceased to exist on 22 March 1932 with its functions transferred to the Ways & Works Branch.[3][4] It was succeeded by the Department of Main Roads in December 1932.[5]
Publication
From 1929, Main Roads was the MRB's inhouse journal that was published quarterly.[6][7]
