Mornington Peninsula Freeway
Encyclopedia
Mornington Peninsula Freeway (Peninsula Link) is an incomplete freeway in Melbourne
, Victoria
, Australia
, that provides a link from outer suburban Melbourne to the Mornington Peninsula
.
as the F6 Freeway corridor. In the early 1960s the Frankston Freeway
was known as the Wells Road Bypass. The Wells Road Bypass was an undivided highway between Frankston-Cranbourne Road and Seaford Road. It then continued on to Mordialloc
as Wells Road.
The Wells Road Bypass was upgraded to freeway standard in the early 1970s and on 17 March 1980 the section of freeway from Springvale Road Keysborough to Seaford opened alongside the existing Wells Road. At the time it was planned that the rest of the freeway be completed from Springvale Road onwards but a change of Government in 1982 saw a change in policy. The new policy was to duplicate Wells Rd through Aspendale Gardens and Boundary Rd through Braeside. The Southern section of freeway known as the Mornington Peninsula Freeway (or Dromana Freeway) between Nepean Highway
at Dromana and Jetty Road at Rosebud South was completed in 1975. The freeway between Dromana
and Moorooduc South linking to Moorooduc Highway
was completed in the mid 1990s.
having decided that traffic on the route was not heavy enough to merit a Frankston Bypass, the middle section of the freeway), and at this stage, there are actually two freeways, a northern section and a southern section, linked by a divided highway.
Its northern section links Springvale Road just outside Edithvale
to the Moorooduc Highway
in Frankston
. It is signed with a
shield, including the Moorooduc Highway. It changes names to become the Frankston Freeway
in Carrum Downs
south until Cranbourne-Frankston Road, as the incomplete section of the actual Mornington Peninsula Freeway, which bypasses Frankston, swings off to the south east.
A further 20 kilometres south along Moorooduc Highway, the Mornington Peninsula Freeway recommences in a southern section until Boneo Road, Rosebud
. This section of the freeway passes through vineyards, stud farms and gardens along the Mornington Peninsula.
The freeway is generally parallel to Point Nepean Road and Nepean Highway
almost all the way including Moorooduc Highway, having been constructed to relieve traffic on that road.
At the northern end of the northern section, Melbourne-bound traffic may turn right along Springvale Road to access Monash Freeway
or Princes Highway
. Turning left follows an alternative way to the city via Nepean Highway
, which in many cases is faster, due to the common traffic congestion on the Monash Freeway
.
VicRoads does have a plan to change the route sign to but there is no clear commitment as to when this change will take place. It was changed to for a short time just before EastLink opened then it was reverted back tohttp://mrv.ozroads.net.au/SRNS/M%20Routes/mroutes.htm#u. However, it looks more likely that with the completion of the Peninsula Link, the route will indeed change to
New road signs have been erected on Wells Road and Springvale Road on the approach to the Freeway. These road signs are lane directional signs that designate right lanes for the
Frankston Freeway.

is touted as a solution, linking with the freeway (and hence Frankston and Mornington Peninsula) to Melbourne's comprehensive freeway network.
A persistent proposal has been to complete the freeway and connect the northern and southern sections. This is the reason for the name change half-way down the freeway's northern section, as the original Mornington Peninisula Freeway was to divert through Langwarrin
, Baxter
and Moorooduc
, eventually rejoining as a regular interchange with the Moorooduc Highway
. Recently, this proposal was given approval by the Victorian Government, and work has commenced.
through Braeside
to the current northern section's northern terminus at Springvale Road. The second is the Frankston Bypass, which is currently under construction. This section commences at the large bend in the middle of the northern section where the freeway's name officially changes, and will divert traffic around the east side of Frankston through Langwarrin, Baxter and Moorooduc before once again joining the current southern section's northern terminus at Moorooduc Highway. The third is basically an extension of the southern section with land reserved until the termination at Melbourne Rd.
Where the current southern section reaches Jetty Road in Rosebud, freeway conditions end, with a two-lane, single carrageway link from Jetty Road to Boneo Road. From Jetty Road the freeway was meant to adopt full freeway standards with overpasses over Jetty Road and Boneo Road, but this section has remained incomplete for over a decade (at this stage there appears to be no plans to complete the second carriageway or interchange crossing for Jetty Road). The freeway would then bypass Rye
before terminating at Melbourne Road at the intersection of Canterbury Jetty Road in Blairgowrie
.
freeway and its interchange with the northern section has led to speculation of possible congestion on the Frankston Freeway, especially at the southern terminus at McMahons Road. This possible congestion would be alleviated by the construction of a missing section of the Mornington Peninsula freeway, a Frankston Bypass. Vicroads however does not anticipate such congestion on the Frankston Freeway will actually occur. Federal MP Bruce Billson
however, believed otherwise, and raising this issue in the local press as these roads are strictly a state responsibility.
The Victorian minister for Transport, Peter Batchelor
, stated that simply because the freeway's projected path appears on a map (referring to the route shown in the Melway
), that this does not mean that the road is intended to, or will ever actually be built. City of Frankston
councillors however, along with Mr. Billson, pushed for the bypass to be built in any case.
Since that time, and the recent State Election, the Bypass was given approval, and construction has begun.
This would reduce the heavy traffic now seen on Wells Road through Aspendale Gardens and White Street in Mordialloc (Aspendale Gardens-Mordialloc Bypass?).http://www.agrainc.org.au/item.php?item=92
