General Information:

Metropolitan Route 9 covers Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs and varies from divided and undivided roadway which passes through bushland, semi-rural, residential, commercial and industrial areas.

With the opening of Eastlink (M3) the significance of the route is less than it used to be at the southern end, as Eastlink basically parallels MR9 with a full freeway standard road, without at-grade junctions and a higher speed limit, offering a quicker trip from Ringwood to Frankston.

Multiplexes along the route are as follows:

• ALT-NR1 (Princes Hwy) for 600 metres at Dandenong
• MR34 (Maroondah Hwy) for 300 metres at Ringwood
• MR36 (Boronia Rd) for 2 kilometres at Wantirna
• MR42 (Ringwood-Warrandyte Rd) for 2 kilometres at Warrandyte
• MR44 (Yarra Glen Road) for 1 kilometre at Kangaroo Ground
• C726 (Kangaroo Ground-St Andrews Rd) for 150 metres at Kangaroo Ground
