Mount Dandenong Tourist RoadBurwood Highway is a major transportation link with Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It begins in the suburb of Kooyong, Melbourne at the junction of the Monash Freeway as Toorak Road between Monash Freeway and Warrigal Road, and finishes in Belgrave, Victoria in the Dandenong Ranges. The highway is considered a major link for people who live in the Dandenong Ranges, as it is the only major feeder roadway in the general area other than Canterbury Road, Ferntree Gully Road, EastLink and Wellington Road.
Burwood Highway is a primary route between Melbourne and the eastern suburbs, and the area around Belgrave. It begins at its junction with Monash Freeway (or CityLink if travelling north) as a four lane single carriageway, which is often clogged with heavy traffic, as well as trams travelling along the roadway for some of the route. However, this part of the route is usually signed as Toorak Road. After Warrigal Road, the highway widens to become a six lane dual carriageway, the median with trams tracks, carrying the Route 75 service to Vermont South. A few kilometres before Belgrave, the highway narrows again to a single carriageway, its route, number changing from State Route 26 to C412 until its end in Belgrave. C412 continues as Belgrave-Gembrook Road although the end of the highway heading straight forwards continues as Monbulk Road heading towards Lilydale.
