Calder designs go public

Key points

• Governments have released concept designs for a major overhaul of the Calder Freeway and Calder Park Drive interchange, and community consultation is now open. The plans include a new diamond interchange and a four-lane overpass that raises the freeway, along with future-proofing for six lanes and a 100km/h speed limit.
• Officials say the changes will improve safety and reliability for the 39,000 vehicles using the freeway each day. Construction timeframes will not be confirmed until planning and environmental approvals progress.
• Residents can give feedback through engage.vic.gov.au.
