SH 56 used to connect {{NZSH|1}} at Himatangi with {{NZSH|3}} in Palmerston North (at the intersection of Main and Princess Streets). It was rerouted to intersect {{NZSH|57}} instead in 1997, with the section between Maxwells Line and its intersection with SH 3 also being revoked.{{cite web |url=https://www.gazette.govt.nz/notice/id/1997-au4208 |title=Revoking Sections of State Highways Declaring New Sections of State Highway |website=New Zealand Gazette |date=26 June 1997 |accessdate=5 July 2016}}
