Motorists can now travel from Melbourne to Victoria's Surf Coast without stopping.
The final $110 million section of the Geelong Ring Road opened to traffic on Sunday, connecting the road to the Princes Highway and on to Colac.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Victorian Roads Minister Terry Mulder issued a joint statement, noting the link was vital in improving the road network between Melbourne and south-western Victoria.
Duplication of the Princes Highway from Waurn Ponds through to Winchelsea is also underway and is expected to be finished by mid-2015.
