  State Route 104 (SR104) was introduced in December 1990 to coincide with the proclamation of the Hopkins Highway as a State Highway [1]. SR104 followed the entire length of the Hopkins Highway, providing a link between the Princes Highway at Warrnambool and the Hamilton Highway at Mortlake.

Hopkins Highway is two-lane single carriageway, travelling in close proximity to the Hopkins River.

In 1998, the entire route was replaced by B120 in the Statewide Route Numbering Scheme.
