Traffic updates

Major reconstruction works currently underway

Peninsula Link Pavement Works

Major works are being carried out along 14 kilometers of the southern sections of the Peninsula Link. Delivered in stages, the works will replace the road to keep the connection between the Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne safe and reliable. 

These works are built into the Peninsula Link contract with the State of Victoria and are not an additional cost to taxpayers.

Impacts, road closures and delays

Some lanes and ramps will be closed while works are underway. Reduced speed limits are likely throughout the work period, even when road workers aren't visible because the physical condition of the road has changed, creating hazards that are not always obvious to drivers. 

Delays are likely and we urge motorists to allow plenty of extra time if travelling on Peninsula Link.

Planned closures

Northbound carriageway closure – reopened Thursday 4 June 2026

The Peninsula Link northbound carriageway closure between Moorooduc Highway and Bungower Road has now reopened.

The closure was originally scheduled to remain in place until Monday 8 June 2026 but was completed early and the road reopened to traffic on Thursday 4 June 2026, ahead of the long weekend.

Crews have now completed final activities, including pavement works, line marking and safety checks, to safely reopen the road.

Northbound entry ramps from Mornington-Tyabb Road and the Moorooduc Highway, as well as the exit ramp to Bungower Road, have also reopened with the northbound carriageway.

The northbound service centers have remained open throughout the works.

Motorists are advised to continue to take care and following signage.

Northbound closure planned for December 2026

Further closures of the northbound carriageway will be required in December 2026 to lay the final surface. We will notify the community in advance of these works.

Travel advice

We acknowledge delays can be frustrating and we would like to thank the community for your patience.
