Thanks – glad you enjoyed it.

This is close to my heart as I grew up in Keilor and can remember all of those changes vividly. Those ghost ramps wouldn’t have worked in today’s speed shy world as you really needed to floor it on the Milleara Road entrance ramp to get up to freeway speeds quickly – although with our nanny state and Victorian’s lack of ability to merge, maybe they would have been ok.

The whole extension of Keilor Park Drive and it being the crossover from the Calder to the Western Ring Road has never worked. Traffic banks up, the road surface becomes rutted with the amount of traffic it carries, the intersections on the bridge over the Calder has been a traffic jam in peak hour since day 1, the exit at Keilor Park Drive for outbound traffic has never been done well (although people fail at reading the signs and there used to be some pretty hilarious tyre tracks in the grass and dirt before they put up the dividers just before the bridge :D).

There was also a lot of anger in the community because people felt their homes or businesses had been undervalued and a lot of people questioned why planners had failed to set aside land decades earlier.

It’s a tricky interchange, but I feel like it was definitely one that could have been executed better.
