Cambridge RoadThe Healesville Freeway is a proposed freeway in the eastern suburbs of
Melbourne ,Australia .Planned route
Starting at Springvale Road in Vermont South, the freeway would head east intersecting EastLink with a full freeway junction, it will then head north east finally joining Mooroolbark Road, Lilydale.
The freeway was originally designated in the
1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan as part of the F9 Freeway corridor, extending past Springvale Road, joining Riversdale Road and winding through Glen Iris to join the current Citylink Freeway.Orbital Route Connection Proposal
In "
Transurban 's Response to the Eddington Report", July 2008 [http://210.15.220.118/ewlna_submissions/EastWestResponse_150708_Transurban.pdf] . They propose a possible connection to complete an orbital route for metropolitan Melbourne. Using the existing Healesville Freeway corridor fromEastlink heading north-east toMaroondah Highway near Chirnside Park. FromMaroondah Highway , the link could head north to meet with the high voltage transmission line and then west across the Yarra River to connect with the existing Greensborough bypass corridor at Diamond Creek. Assuming the section ofGreensborough Highway (bypass) connecting to theMetropolitan Ring Road will be upgraded toFreeway standard.Proposed exits and intersections
