Camerons Lane Interchange

Overview

The business case for the Camerons Lane Interchange is complete. The project now moves in to the pre-construction phase to enable the time required to secure the necessary planning and environmental approvals.

The Camerons Lane Interchange Project will:

• build a new interchange at Camerons Lane and the Hume Freeway
• close the existing freeway ramps at Lithgow Street
• upgrade and realign the Hume Freeway in Beveridge to cater for the new interchange
• add walking and cycling paths
• install traffic lights at the intersections of Camerons Lane/Patterson Road and Minton Street/Spring Street
• upgrade Spring Street between Minton and Lithgow streets.

A business case examined the interchange in detail to recommend a design and identify the best delivery approach.

Next steps

During the pre-construction stage we’ll complete activities including:

• on-site investigations including identifying underground utilities, and testing ground conditions
• refining the project design and construction approach
• obtaining planning approvals
• detailed on-site environmental investigations
• preparing a Cultural Heritage Management Plan.

Construction timelines will be confirmed once our planning has progressed further.

Minton Street Planning Study

Work on the Minton Street Planning Study has also been completed, to determine what upgrades are needed to support the growth of the area and cater to future land use.

Technical investigations

We’ve been completing technical roadside investigations. At times, we may need to complete additional investigations where we will implement traffic control measures, including temporary lane closures, stop/slow traffic and reduced speeds.

We’ll keep traffic disruption to a minimum and avoid busy periods.

Community feedback

From 5 to 25 February 2024, we asked for community feedback via Engage Victoria to help inform our planning.

This provided important local insights that has helped us to understand community views on safety, traffic flow and what we should consider in our planning. This helped inform the business case for the project. We thank you for your feedback.
