Kempsey Road project (Armidale)

This project is being carried out by Armidale Regional Council in the Armidale local government area. 

Background

The Kempsey-Armidale Road is an important corridor which links Armidale and the coast. The road also supports agriculture and tourism industries in both the Armidale and Kempsey regions.

The road was severely damaged by bushfires at the end of 2019 and subsequent flooding in 2020 and 2022. The condition of the road has deteriorated due to these natural disasters and several landslips.

Various emergency works have been undertaken to open the road to the public. Armidale Regional Council is continuing work to rehabilitate and restore 45km of Kempsey-Armidale Road to pre-disaster condition. 

Project status 

The Kempsey Road works are an Armidale Regional Council project. Updates can be found on Armidale's project page.
