Derrimut Road (C702) (also in its constituent parts as Hopkins Road) is an arterial road in the western suburbs of Melbourne. The road goes through the suburbs of Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Truganina, Mount Atkinson and Deanside, and links Werribee to the Western Freeway.
The road starts in Werribee, at the intersection of Princes Highway (C109) near the Werribee Police Station. The road heads northbound as a four lane dual carriageway through Hoppers Crossing and Tarneit at a speed of 60 km/h, intersecting Heaths Road, Hogans Road and Sayers Road. Between Sayers Road and Leakes Road, the road is a six lane road, then narrowing back to a four lane road. The speed increases to 80 km/h after Tarneit Station, and then intersecting Dohertys Road. The road then narrows to a two lane single carriageway, intersecting Boundary Road and turning into Hopkins Road. It then forms an interchange with the Western Freeway before ending at Neale Road, Deanside.
