Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson will deliver the announcement at the New Street railway crossing at 1.45pm in Gunnedah today.
It comes after the state government’s $8 million budget commitment last year – a figure well short of the estimated $58 million needed to complete the project.
Mr Anderson announced in July last year $8 million to commence the project, with an estimated start date of July this year.
The proposed road-over-rail bridge, which started as a $16 million project in 2012, has since been delayed by budget blowouts, with the latest estimate sitting at $58 million.
The Namoi Valley Independent will be live-streaming the announcement on our Facebook page at 1.45pm today.
