Route
editSH 53 commences from SH 2 at the intersection of Fitzherbert and Revans Streets, Featherston. It proceeds along Revans Street until the intersection with Boundary Road, at which point the highway takes the name State Highway 53. The highway crosses two major rivers: the Tauherenikau River near Featherston and the Ruamahanga River near Martinborough. West of the Ruamahanga crossing it has a TOTSO intersection with Bidwills Crossing Road, which links Martinborough with Greytown. When the highway reaches Martinborough State Highway 53 becomes known as Kitchener Street until it reaches its terminus at Memorial Square.[1][2][unreliable source?][when?]
