Planning is underway for a potential Camerons Lane Interchange at the Hume Freeway in Beveridge.
Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) is investigating options for the potential new interchange to provide safe and efficient access to the Hume Freeway at Beveridge.
The potential interchange would also reduce traffic congestion, improve travel times, and cater for increased demand, with projections of Beveridge’s population rising from 7,191 to 73,745 by 2041.
MRPV’s planning is seeking a clearer understanding of the area and the environmental and social impacts it could have.
The planning will build on previous development work by the Department of Transport and Planning.
MRPV’s planning includes roadside technical investigations, which may require traffic control measures such as temporary lane closures, stop/slow traffic and set speeds.
However, traffic disruptions will be kept to a minimum and will avoid busy periods.
MRPV Project Director Michael McClean outlined the reasons for the interchange.
“The potential interchange would be a critical link to the Hume Freeway for the fast-growing community at Beveridge. It would provide safer, more-efficient access to the freeway, reduce congestion and improve travel times,” he said.
Early next year, MRPV will provide an opportunity for public feedback on the potential interchange.
A business case for the potential interchange is being developed and is expected to be complete in 2024.
