South Gippsland Highway, Lynbrook Boulevard to Manks Road

The Victorian Government is improving safety on South Gippsland Highway, between Lynbrook Boulevard in Lynbrook and Manks Road in Clyde, in partnership with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). 

Project update - March 2023

We’re installing safety barriers along the left-hand side and centre median of South Gippsland Highway, between Lynbrook Boulevard and Manks Road to prevent head-on and run-off-road crashes.

Crews have installed safety barriers along the majority of this stretch of road and have installed Electronic speed Limit Signs (ESLS) on South Gippsland Highway near Devon Road.

We’ll continue to keep the community informed with further information about the final stages of barrier installation in 2023.

We thank you for your patience will we complete these important safety improvements.

Environmental Sustainability

We will balance our commitment to environmental sustainability with the critical need to improve safety on this road to reduce road trauma and save lives.

We are continually working to reduce environmental impacts, however we may need to remove a limited number of trees along the project site to allow room for the safety barrier to be installed safely and work effectively

Background

We’re improving safety along South Gippsland Highway, between Lynbrook Boulevard and Manks Road, as part of a $9.8 million investment to reduce road trauma and save lives.

The section of South Gippsland Highway between Lynbrook Boulevard and Manks Road is a high-volume, high-speed road in Victoria’s Metropolitan south east region and connects the growing suburban regions of Cranbourne and Clyde to Melbourne.

Between 2012 and 2016, 35 crashes occurred on South Gippsland Highway between Lynbrook Boulevard and Manks Road; 25 people suffered serious injuries and tragically one person lost their life. 

Mistakes happen, which as humans we can’t always avoid. What we can do is build more forgiving road infrastructure so that when a mistake does happen on the road, it doesn’t cost a life.

Flexible safety barriers will not be installed on a section of the South Gippsland Highway between Clarendon Street and Cameron Street in Cranbourne due to the 60km/h speed limit and the Avenue of Honour.

These safety upgrades build on the investment made to improve safety on South Gippsland Highway between Cranbourne East and Lang Lang as part of the Victorian Government’s $1.4 billion partnership with TAC, into road safety infrastructure to reduce road trauma and save lives.
