The project will restore 43 kilometres of Kempsey-Armidale Road and a five-kilometre section of Lower Creek Road following damage caused by the 2019 bushfires and subsequent flood events in 2020 and 2022. Once complete, the works will help reconnect communities, support regional industries and improve the resilience of an important transport corridor linking Armidale with the NSW coast.
