The Mordialloc Bypass is a step closer, with expressions of interest in building the $300 million project open.
The nine-kilometre bypass will link the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Springvale Road, Aspendale Gardens, to the Dingley Bypass in Dingley Village.
The State Government said the new arterial road would improve safety and traffic flow, providing South-East drivers with better access to local jobs and recreational centres.
The new bypass will include two bridges, four intersections and off-road paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
A preferred candidate to build the project is to be announced later in the year.
Keyborough MP Martin Pakula said “people have talked about this road for decades”.
