State Highway 56 is a New Zealand State Highway. It begins at SH 57 at Makerua and runs north-east to Palmerston North from the West. The State Highway officially terminates on Pioneer Highway just at the entrance to the city.

History

SH 56 used to connect SH 1 at Himatangi but was rerouted to intersect SH 57 in the mid 1990s. The eastern terminus used to connect to SH 3 at the intersection of Main and Princess Streets but recently the section between there and Maxwells Line has lost its highway status.^[1]
