The Glenelg Highway is an extension of the Victorian route B160 to connect with the Princes Highway near Mount Gambier. It was previously signed as an extension of Victorian State Route 112 but has been changed to route B160 to match the Victorian Statewide Route Numbering Scheme. The Glenelg Highway actually provides a shorter route between Mt Gambier and Melbourne than via the Princes Highway. Recent changes to signage mean that motorists are no longer presented with this information when approaching the junction of the two highways.
