State Highway 97 (SH 97) is a New Zealand State Highway connecting the settlements of Five Rivers (onSH 6) and Mossburn (onSH 94) in the Southland region. The highway was gazetted in 2004 to reflect the increasing amount of traffic between the tourist destinations of Queenstown and Fiordland National Park and provides a bypass of the town of Lumsden, where SH 6 and 94 intersect.[1]
In 2010, the highway was added to the Southern Scenic Route when it was extended from Te AnautoQueenstown. The road proceeds generally in an east–west direction through dairying farmland and crosses the Ōreti River just north of Mossburn.
