The project is jointly funded by the State and Federal Governments and Gwydir Shire Council.
Once complete, road trains will be able to travel from the northern part of Gwydir Shire Council onto the Gwydir Highway without detouring via Moree and heavy vehicles will be removed from the Warialda CBD.
The project has a targeted completion date of February 2022.
