Meaning, state of development and numbering
The Burwood Highway is considered to be the most important link between the Dandenongs and central Melbourne.
From the Monash Freeway / CityLink to Warrigal Road (S15), the road is four lanes. Sometimes the tram also uses the same route. From the Warrigal Road it runs six lanes with median, on which the tram line 75 goes to Vermont South . A few kilometers before Belgrave, the Burwood Highway narrows again.
The Burwood Highway takes the name State Road 26 (S26) from Toorak Road, which it carries until shortly before Belgrave. Where the median disappears and the highway becomes narrower, the numbering changes to C412. After Belgrave, Belgrave Gembrook Road continues this numbering.
