The Dandenong Valley Highway is a road connection through the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne in the southern Australian state of Victoria. It connects the Mountain Highway in Bayswater (Melbourne ) with the Nepean Highway in Frankston. The highway is mostly not signposted as such, but wearing local street names.
The Verkehrsauflommen has grown steadily over the years. Bottlenecks have arisen above all on Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully on the Road, at the Wellington Road, on the Princes Highway and at the Thomson Road. Since the East Link, the west parallel to the Dandenong Valley Highway runs in only about 2 km distance, was opened on 29 June 2008, traffic has decreased significantly on the highway.
