Calder Highway-Karadoc Avenue, Irymple intersection improvements

We’ve improved safety at the intersection of the Calder Highway and Karadoc Avenue (Fifteenth Street) in Irymple with a joint $540,000 investment by the Australian and Victorian Governments under the Road Safety Program.

Project status:

Complete

Works at the intersection included:

  • upgrading traffic signals to provide fully controlled, right-turns from all legs of the intersection
  • modifications to traffic islands on Karadoc Avenue
  • minor road surface and drainage works, and
  • improved line marking.

Benefits

Previously vehicles on Karadoc Avenue had to wait for a gap in oncoming traffic to turn right onto the Calder Highway. Motorists also had to be cautious of pedestrians crossing the Calder Highway at the intersection when turning right.

Upgrades to the traffic signals will provide a dedicated, right-turn signal for these vehicles, reducing conflict with other vehicles and pedestrians.

Thank you for your patience while we completed these works.
