Dudley Street

The western end of Dudley Street underwent major reconstruction, which included lowering of the outer lanes to provide a clearance of 5 metres under the existing rail bridges, a new intersection at Wurundjeri Way and a remodelled intersection at Footscray Road; work commenced in April 1999 and was completed in November 2000.^[5]

The road was signed Metropolitan Route 32 in 1965, from Footscray Road, before turning south to run along Adderley Street and La Trobe Street to meet Victoria Parade in Carlton. It was re-routed to run further west, turning north and west along Peel and Victoria Streets to Carlton instead, in 1989. National Route 31 was extended along Dudley Street from Peel Street when the West Gate Freeway extension opened in 1988; this was truncated back to Wurundjeri Way when it opened in 1999, and was replaced by Metropolitan Route 55 when the Craigieburn bypass opened in 2005.

The passing of the Road Management Act 2004^[6] granted the responsibility of overall management and development of Victoria's major arterial roads to VicRoads: in 2004, VicRoads re-declared the road as Dudley Street (Arterial #5040), beginning at Footscray Road at Docklands and ending at Peel Street in the Melbourne CBD.^[7]

Dudley Street is entirely contained within the City of Melbourne local government area.
