History

edit

In 1876, a single-laned stone bridge was built over Kalkallo Creek at Donnybrook. On 11 November 2008, the grade-separated interchange with Hume Freeway at Kalkallo opened to traffic, replacing the former at-grade intersection. Works also included a new bridge over Kalkallo Creek, replacing the stone bridge from 1876.[2]
