More than 470km of state-managed regional roads in the North West region will benefit from a $37.5 million upgrade across NSW.
The upgrade, which applies to Newell Highway, Oxley Highway and Kamilaroi Highway, will see a protective layer of hot bitumen and aggregate applied that waterproofs roads against heavy rain damage.
The state-funded road improvement will provide superior grip in all weather conditions and extend the road life by up to 10 years, according to the NSW Government.
The comprehensive spray sealing program, which started in September, will run through June 2026.
The NSW Minister for Roads and Minister Regional Transport Jenny Aitchison said freight operators, farmers, tourism industries, local businesses and communities depend on these corridors every single day.
“This smart investment in spray sealing prevents costly road reconstruction while delivering safer, more reliable travel for regional families,” she said.
