Map of Geelong

The Princes Highway route through Geelong, Victoria, Australia, runs along former alignments with which originally Highway 1 now runs along the Geelong Ring Road.

It starts at the junction of Princes Freeway in the northern Geelong suburb of Corio, and runs along Geelong's northern and southern suburbs via the inner-city western bypass of the Geelong City Centre, to the current Highway 1 segment of the Princes Highway at Waurn Ponds in Geelong's southern suburbs. The highway is six lane dual carriageway from Corio to Latrobe Terrace, continuing as a four lane dual carriageway to Waurn Ponds. The 1989 re-alignment of the Princes Highway (as La Trobe Terrace) provides a dual carriageway, 4 lane limited access road to replace the original route along Moorabool Street in South Geelong and High Street in Belmont. Upon the completion of the final section (4B-C) of the Geelong Ring Road, another section of the Princes Highway will be superseded in Waurn Ponds.
