Map with all coordinates: The Dandenong Valley Highway is a road link through the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne in the south of the Australian state of Victoria . It connects the Mountain Highway in Bayswater (Melbourne) with the Nepean Highway in Frankston . The highway is usually not signposted as such, but bears local street names.
The volume of traffic has grown steadily over the years. Bottlenecks have primarily occurred on the Burwood Highway , Ferntree Gully Road , Wellington Road , Princes Highway and Thomsons Road . Since the EastLink , which runs parallel to the Dandenong Valley Highway in just 2 km to the west, opened on June 29, 2008, the volume of traffic on the highway has decreased significantly.
course
The Dandenong Valley Highway begins on the Nepean Highway (S3) in the center of Frankston.

From there it continues as a four-lane expressway with a median further to the northeast to Dandenong , whose city center the highway crosses as a four-lane road without a median. After leaving the city, the highway has a median again and leads north through the suburbs of Rowville and Scoresby , as well as the Knox Shopping Center in Wantirna South . At the Boronia Road in Wantirna the highway becomes two lanes and ends at the Mountain Highway (S28) in Bayswater.
