In October 2014 a feasibility study found that a freeway standard road was not required. However, an arterial road, now known as the Mordialloc Bypass, in the freeway reservation was considered to be the optimal solution. If in the future any freeway is considered it will be most likely that the Dingley Arterial would be upgraded to freeway standard. The 2014 State Budget included $10.6 million over 4 years to undertake detailed planning and project development. An arterial road would probably consist of a divided road, at grade traffic light controlled intersections, a speed limit of 80 km/h and bike/pedestrian paths.
