The Federal member for Dunkley, Bruce Billson ( Liberal), has recently taken it upon himself to push for the missing link of the freeway to be built between Frankston to the Mooroduc Highway. He claims that Eastlink will add too much traffic to the Frankston Freeway and the terminus at McMahons Road. I think he's correct, although VicRoads claim this won't happen. I hope he gets it, but I suspect Canberra won't contribute as it's not a road of national importance, and I suspect it's just a vehicle to bash the state government with and to promote himself. I hope I'm wrong. -- Commking 00:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I wonder if it is worth mentioning Wells Road in the article.
Prior to the freeway from Springvale Rd, Wells Rd was a major road, even being signed as Metro route 11 (which continued from Springvale Rd into Wells) upon introduction of the Metro route system in 1966. Wells Rd of old followed its current course, the exception being where is is "broken" by the Thompson Rd interchange (previously Thompson Rd ended at Wells Rd and did not meet McLeod Rd). The Frankston Freeway also replaced a large section of Wells Rd and what was known as the Wells Rd Bypass... I believe the bypass was the "freeway" at first until more of it was completed.
How the road looked in 1966 can be seen at Melway's Web site. - Bricks J. Winzer 15:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I remember as a kid travelling between Frankston and Melbourne in the mid-late 70's you would go off the Freeway at Seaford Rd and follow Wells Rd and then the freeway extended to somewhere just before Thompson Rd, I think near the BMX track where EastLink is now and then by about 1981/2 it extended to Springvale Rd. —Preceding

Just to further confirm the freeway will change from metro 11 to M11, here is a pic snapped by someone from ozroads: http://mrv.ozroads.com.au/misc/IMG_3634.jpg. -- Lakeyboy ( talk) 10:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Converted back to 11 just before EastLink opened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrispain ( talk • contribs) 11:08, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
The merge would indicate the continuous link between the two sections of MP Freeway and Peninsula Link. Peninsula Link would have a sub-content on the MP Freeway page (if agreed upon). -- Rom rulz424 ( talk) 01:59, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Missing: although the existence of the extension from Jetty Rd to Boneo Rd Rosebud is mentioned elsewhere in the article, no date is given for when that section of road opened and is thus left out of the timeline. I can remember when the freeway used to end at Jetty Rd at a T-intersection but that was decades ago. Does anyone know when the single-lane two-way was built?
