The Brisbane Valley Highway is a state highway in Queensland. It links the Warrego Highway near Ipswich and the D'Aguilar Highway about 4 kilometres (2 mi) north of Harlin. Its direction follows the approximate course of the Brisbane River. It is part of State Route A17, duplexing with the D'Aguilar Highway to Nanango and then becomes the Burnett Highway. State Route 85 is duplexed with the Brisbane Valley Highway from Esk to the D'Aguilar Highway.
The highway crosses the Wivenhoe Dam about 9 kilometres (6 mi) north-west of Fernvale.
In the near future, the intersection with the Warrego Highway will be converted into a grade-separated interchange.
