All,

https://roadprojects.vic.gov.au/projects/mordialloc-freeway

Drove past this project the other day, nothing that interesting, but it is very close to complete. Has a T-Junction with lights at the northern end with the Dingley Bypass.

It is signed as M11 which is what one would expect, however common sense has provialed on the name. Looks like "Mordialloc Freeway" was just a project name, it is signed "Mornington Peninsula Freeway" as it should be, being an extension of the existing road.

Still dislike how the centre section of M11 is called "Peninsula Link". I know that whole section is shadow tolled, but to the public, they don't care. I'd rename the whole lot simply "Peninsula Freeway".

I agree with you Adam. I also still think the entire M11 route should have retained the original M7 route number. It would make the C7xx route numbers in the Mornington Peninsula area more logical fit. However, they exist all around Melbourne, so it renders that logic moot.

I did find it romantic that the Dingley Bypass is SR87, though.

Great pics, I was too lazy.

Signage looks pretty good, but I dislike the lack of road name patches on Victorian signs still.

That second-last picture is peculiar. The sign at the back brightly displays B980 for the right turn (as do all the other photos), but the sign for the left turn (in the foreground) is covering up the route number. You can see the coverplate next to the "Cheltenham" there.

What's going on there?
