Expansion of the Anzac Highway

Before the expansion of the Anzac Highway in the 1990s, the southern end of Tapleys Hill Road was connected to the Anzac Highway and was about 100 m west of today's end. The expansion included a rerouting of Tapleys Hill Road in this area and tied it to the north end of Brighton Road . This has avoided traffic jams in this busy area. The old route still exists today and is called Old Tapleys Hill Road . It only serves as a residential street.
