The Ringwood Bypass is a short stretch of road extending from EastLink to Maroondah Highway in Melbourne, Australia.
It allows the Maroondah Highway to bypass Eastland Shopping Centre, in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Ringwood.
The bypass begins at the intersection with EastLink – with access to the Maroondah Highway west of Ringwood extended south from Eastlink's ramps – and heads east as an 8-lane, dual-carriageway road, adjacent to Mullum Mullum Creek, crossing Ringwood Street and Warrandyte Road, before ending at the intersection with the Maroondah Highway east of Ringwood and Mount Dandenong Road.
[3] An extension to the bypass to connect it to the Eastern Freeway at Springvale Road in Donvale was planned in October 2000:[4] this would include tunnels 1.5 km in length and a connection with the planned Scoresby Freeway (later EastLink), cost $326 million, and was scheduled for completion in mid-2005.
[6] The bypass was signed as Metropolitan Route 62 along its entire length when the second stage opened at the same time as EastLink in 2008.
