Springvale Junction
Springvale Junction is a road intersection in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is situated on the boundary of the suburbs of Mulgrave and Springvale. Springvale junction forms the intersection of four major roads, two of which terminate: *Springvale Road: along with Stud Road eight kilometres to the east and Warrigal Road four kilometres to the west, Springvale Road is the busiest and most unsafe north–south thoroughfare in the eastern suburbs, with speed limits of 70 km/h and 80 km/h, and a six-lane dual carriageway. *Princes Highway: along with the Monash Freeway, the major thoroughfare from the south-eastern suburbs into the city, running northwest-southeast. Like Springvale Road, it is a six-lane dual carriageway. *Police Road/Centre Road: two-lane single carriageway running east–west. These roads are slightly off-set from the main intersection. Each of the six main corners of the intersection has shops or shopping centres on it. The lower section of Mile Creek East Branch passes below the intersection in a series of culverts maintained by VicRoads and Melbourne Water.
