Gunnedah rail overpass project: New Street will reopen, View Street will close

Only the stretch from the skate park and the Oxley Highway roundabout will be closed, but motorists needing to access the road and the highway will need to divert via Marquis Street and Hunter Street.

The closure will allow Daracon crews to install drainage culverts, build the remainder of the new roundabout and conduct service relocation.

New Street, however, will now reopen after being closed since September 2019.

A spokesperson for the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) said pedestrian access would be maintained during the closure.

"Signage will be in place to direct motorists. Please keep to speed limits and follow the direction of traffic controllers and signs," the spokesperson said.

"Thank you for your patience during this important work."
