In the 1840s–1860s, Keilor was a major stopping point for travellers heading to Mount Macedon, the central Victorian goldfields, and pastoral runs to the north and west. The road running through Keilor was therefore known as the Mount Macedon Road and later shorten to Macedon Street, long before the Calder Highway system was formally gazetted in the early 20th century. As the highway network developed, the route was progressively renamed and realigned, leaving the Keilor section with the heritage name Old Calder Highway.Keilor Village Shopping Centre 487.3keilor shopping centre, macedon street, old calder highway, keilor

The single span bluestone bridge is on the Calder Highway at the base of Corkscrew Hill between Gap Road and the town of Gisborne. In the early 1990s the highway was widened and dual carriageways constructed, as a result the traffic no longer travelled along the winding Corkscrew Hill road. The bridge still stands between the two carriageways. A non-digital black and white photograph with a cream border of a single arched stone bridge spanning a watercourse. Small bushes are growing in the foreground and there are some buildings dotted across the hill in the middle distance.bridges, corkscrew hill, calder highway
