Transcript : Western Option Final

1. The 17.1 km long Western option would connect to the Hume freeway at the existing Wandong interchange.
2. The existing interchange at the Hume Freeway would be upgraded with a new free flowing overpass and new ramps. 
3. This would reduce the slope for vehicles exiting the freeway and a dedicated lane would assist trucks to accelerate. 
4. A new connection would be made to O'Gradys Road and Broadhurst Lane.
5. The bypass would generally follow the existing Epping-Kilmore Road 
6. A new connection would be made to Mathiesons Road. 
7. The bypass would then run to the south side of the existing road to avoid residences and roadside vegetation
8. The new bridge would provide gentler slopes across Broadhurst Creek eliminating the "Big Dipper". This would also provide a wildlife underpass for animals moving along Broadhurst Creek. The existing road would be retained as a local access road.
9. After crossing Broadhurst Creek the bypass heads in a northerly direction across the valley, to take advantage of gentler natural landform and remove two sharp 90 degree bends in the existing Epping-Kilmore Road.
10. Connections would be made to the existing Epping-Kilmore Road and Millards Road. 
11. The bypass would then follow the existing Epping-Kilmore Road as it travels towards the Northern Highway.
12. Connections would be made to Quinns Road.
13. The bypass would connect to the Northern Highway with a large roundabout eliminating the existing T-intersection with the Epping-Kilmore Road.
14. This connection would provide greater choice and flexibility for people wanting to bypass Kilmore or access the Hume freeway 
15. It then would continue west and deviate away from the residences along Gehreys Lane.
16. New intersection connections would be provided at Mill Road.
17. New intersections would also be provided at Fitzgeralds Road and Paynes Road South. 
18. The bypass would then turn north running to the west side of Paynes Road, retaining Paynes Road as a local access road.
19. A new intersection would be provided at McDougalls Road.
