Roadworks & Closures
Road closures
Roads on the Peninsula will be closed from time to time to allow the safe running of events and implementation of works on or near our roads. To ensure these closures are safely managed, in advance, companies running these events/works submit an application including their Traffic Management Plans. View our Known road closures within Mornington Peninsula Shire(PDF, 146KB) which is updated when applications for road closures are granted.
Utility companies will often have to undertake emergency works and these may not be included in our road closures list.
Frankston Flinders Road, Balnarring (DTP)
Please be notified of some upcoming works on Frankston Flinders Road and Coolart Road, Balnarring.
The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) will be undertaking asphalt and pavement rehabilitation. With the works scheduled over three shifts between 18 May 2026 and 30 April 2027. These works will take place overnight between 20.00 and 06.00 to minimise disruption to traffic.
The areas of works are detailed in this plan - Traffic Guidance Scheme - Frankston Flinders Rd Balnarring Rehabilitation(PDF, 15MB).
Nepean Highway, Mornington - Southbound (completion 22 June 2026)
Transport Victoria are currently supporting private development works at 1158 Nepean Highway. These works are being undertaken behind barriers to provide a safe construction environment and are anticipated to be completed by 22 June 2026.
To support traffic flow and safety in the area, real-time traffic signal and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) monitoring is in place and will continue for the duration of the works. Variable Message Signs (VMS) were installed in advance to notify road users of upcoming works and expected timeframes.
Signal timings at the nearby intersection have been adjusted to support school movements. During morning and afternoon school peak periods, additional green time and crossing time is provided for Oakbank Road to assist school buses and pedestrians. During these periods, Nepean Highway may experience reduced green time. Outside of these times, signal timings are adjusted to provide increased green time along Nepean Highway to support traffic flow.
These arrangements are in place to prioritise the safety of all road users and construction personnel. While we acknowledge the delays being experienced are inconvenient, safety remains the key consideration alongside maintaining the movement of traffic and public transport.
These works have been coordinated around the Peninsula Link northbound closure to assist with providing alternative travel options for motorists. In addition, Moorooduc Highway remains an alternative route for travel between Frankston and Mornington in both directions.
For up-to-date traffic information, motorists are encouraged by Transport Victoria to refer to the VicTraffic website when planning their journey.

Planned Road Maintenance
As part of the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Safer Local Roads Program, an extensive road resurfacing program and grading program is carried out across the Mornington Peninsula every year. Information about these programs can be found on the Road Grading and Road Resurfacing pages of the website.
Road infrastructure works
Road works being undertaken by the Shire are listed within our Current Projects pages. The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) and Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) also undertake roadworks within the Peninsula. Find their current project(s) below:
Uralla Drive, Mount Martha
This is a Department of Transport (DTP) project, contact them directly on 13 11 70 or DOTroadprojects@roads.vic.gov.au.
Following the Australian Government’s Independent Strategic Review of the Infrastructure Investment Program, DTP are now recommencing their work on this project.
We’ll have further updates for the community in the coming months.
Planned works
The upgrade will include:
- new traffic lights with pedestrian crossings at the intersection of Uralla Road and Nepean Highway
- realigning Uralla Road to form a cross-intersection with Nepean Highway and The Briars entrance
- other pedestrian and bike rider safety improvements.
Benefits
When the upgrade is completed, it will:
- create safer access for drivers entering into or exiting from Uralla Road and The Briars
- improve safety for all road users at the intersection, including vulnerable road users such as bike riders
- meet the demands of future population and economic growth in the area.
