A $319 million contract has been awarded to rebuild the Kempsey-Armidale Road, a project overseen by Armidale Regional Council. The reconstruction work, which includes 43 kilometres of the Kempsey-Armidale Road and 5 kilometres of Lower Creek Road, was needed due to damage sustained during the 2019 bushfires and subsequent flooding events of 2020 and 2022. The project is jointly funded by the federal and NSW governments under Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
