It is the north-west arterial road, linking Ballarat and Ouyen. (It serves as a secondary 'A' class route Calder Highway).

The Sunraysia Highway runs parallel to the Calder Highway,the primary route between Melbourne and Mildura providing an alternative route via Ballarat. The highway was known as the North-Western Highway until the 1960s, when the present name was adopted.
