was re-declared as Trunk Road 90 on 30 July 1952. Trunk Road 90 was officially named The Bucketts Way on 18 October 1972. The passing of the Roads Act of 1993 through the Parliament of New South Wales updated road classifications and the way they could be declared within New South Wales. Under this act, the northern end of Main Road 90 (formerly Trunk Road 90) was re-aligned from Krambach via Dyers Crossing to end at the intersection with Pacific Highway in Nabiac on 22 November 1996; the southern end of Main Road 192 was extended to cover the former alignment between Burrell Creek and Krambach (and continuing north via Wingham to Taree), with the road from Burrell Creek via Tinonee and Purfleet currently undeclared. Bucketts Way today, as parts of Main Roads 90 and 192, still retain these declarations. Some councillors of the former Gloucester Shire had proposed renaming the section of Bucketts Way south of Gloucester to Thunderbolts Way in December 2004, as is shown on some tourist maps. This would result in one continuously named road stretching from Pacific Highway near Raymond Terrace to New England Highway at Uralla and beyond. However, there was significant community opposition to a name change.
