	Calder Freeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally just a short spur of the Tullamarine Freeway linking to the Calder Highway in Keilor in suburban Melbourne, it has been extended in phases to Kyneton subsuming all the older Calder highway stretches.

	Roads reshaped in funding overhaul - National - www.theage.com.au
		The Federal Government is to expand the road and rail freight precinct between Dynon Road and the Port of Melbourne, build the Deer Park bypass and upgrade the Calder Highway as part of the biggest overhaul of road funding in a generation.
		The reshaping of road funding will mean greater pressure on state governments to contribute to national roads, with the Government scrapping the existing system of a designated "national highway" and roads of national importance.
		The Government will also promise to pay for the next stage of the Calder Highway upgrade near Kyneton, worth about $85 million, but has fallen short of a state request for $193 million to fully duplicate the road.

	FreewayVic
		Description: National Road 79 is Victoria's shortest National Route, and probably the most useless, since it has become shorter and shorter, and the only reason it still exists is because it is within the metropolitan area where the alpha-numeric system has not taken over, except for some M routes.
		NR79 originally followed the Calder Highway from Melbourne to Mildura, then along Silver City Highway in New South Wales past Broken Hill (which eventually becomes an unsealed track).
		NR79 begins on Kings Way at West Gate Freeway (M1), crossing the Yarra River into the CBD (although it is part of the City Bypass), along King Street, right up Curzon Street in North Melbourne, bending into Harker Street, then left along Flemington Road, disappearing once you hit the Western Link (MR43) exit.
