South Gippsland Highway will be closed for 22 days as part of the finishing touches of a level-crossing removal project at Dandenong South.
During the three-week “blitz”, construction crews will connect a new road bridge and the Princes Highway intersection.
South Gippsland Highway will be closed between Dandenong Bypass and Princes Highway from 9pm Friday 16 July to 5am Friday 6 August.
Detours will direct traffic via Dandenong Bypass and Frankston-Dandenong Road.
Metropolitan Roads Program Alliance Project Director Andrew Pepplinkhouse said the road closure was a necessary inconvenience.
“Once these works are complete the new road bridge will make the level crossing a thing of the past, easing congestion for road users and providing safer cycling and pedestrian links through the area and thousands of new trees and shrubs.”

An all-expenses trip for all 11 Greater Dandenong councillors and a council director to a conference in Canberra has cost ratepayers at least $25,000.
The delegation joined other councils for the Australian Local Government Association’s general assembly at the National Convention Centre in Canberra on 20-23 June.
Greater Dandenong confirmed its registration, airfares and accommodation costs were at least $25,651 “to date” – not including GST.
Some councillors stayed at the nearby four-star Crowne Plaza Hotel – which has advertised rates of $189 a night. Others opted to share a family unit.
Cr Tim Dark told a council meeting on 28 June that it gave a chance to network, talk ideas and find out what other councils were doing differently.
