History

In the early 1960s the Frankston Freeway was known as the Wells Road Bypass as Wells Road. The Wells Road Bypass was upgraded to freeway standard in the early 1970s and by around 1980 the rest of the freeway was constructed to Springvale Road alongside the existing Wells Road.

All signs that showed Springvale Road changed it's route shield from in 1989.

Route

The Frankston Freeway was designed to accommodate Mornington Peninsula Freeway from the northern section, and it has had a missing Frankston Bypass for decades (Vicroads having decided that traffic on the route was not heavy enough to merit a Frankston Bypass, the middle section of the freeway), and at this stage the Frankston Freeway serves as the missing link between the two Mornington Peninsula Freeways.

The Frankston Freeway begins in Carrum Downs south until Cranbourne Road, as the incomplete section of the actual Mornington Peninsula Freeway, which bypasses Frankston, swings off to the south east. The newly-completed Eastlink toll road is continuous with the Carrum Downs end of the Frankston Freeway, providing a freeway standard road north through the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne to the Eastern end of the Eastern Freeway, and beyond.

The freeway is generally parallel to Nepean Highway along the route including the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Moorooduc Highway.
