Major Road Projects Victoria has announced the opening of new outbound entry and inbound exit ramps at the Princes Link Highway from Tuesday 31 March.

The works are part of Stage 2 of the Monash Freeway Upgrade to improve access to the Princes Freeway from Beaconsfield and Berwick.

Motorists from Beaconsfield who want to travel outbound on the Princes Highway will now be able to use the new Beaconsfield interchange outbound entry ramp and motorists travelling inbound on the Princes Freeway will be able use the new Beaconsfield Interchange exit ramp.

Motorists will only be able to travel eastbound on the Princes Link Highway towards the Princes Highway.

O’Shea Road is being extended as part of the Monash Freeway Upgrade to reduce congestion and provide easier access to the Princes Freeway.

The extension will be completed by mid-2022 to allow traffic to flow from O’Shea Road to Beaconsfield Interchange and onto the Princes Freeway, providing Berwick locals a direct connection to Beaconsfield for the first time.

O’Shea Road will be upgraded to have three lanes in each direction between Clyde Road and Soldiers Road and extended to join the Beaconsfield interchange, which will be turned into a full diamond interchange.
