- 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.”
