Sydenham electorate road safety
Natalie HUTCHINS (Sydenham – Minister for Education, Minister for Women) (11:08): I am really thrilled that by 2025 the dangerous level crossing on Calder Park Drive will be gone for good, and I am also excited to see planning, safety improvements and maintenance upgrades happening along the Calder Freeway in my electorate. Can I thank the Minister for Roads and Road Safety for delivering really important road maintenance works to the Calder Freeway from Keilor North through to the Kings Road on-ramp and on to Calder Park Drive. This work is being completed as part of the Victorian government’s $780 million investment in the state road maintenance system. These works will also involve asphalt resurfacing and line marking to restore the condition and safety of the road. Investigations are also well underway into potential improvements to the Calder Freeway transport corridor, including investigating a new Calder Park Drive interchange that will improve access on and off the Calder Freeway from Calder Park Drive.
