Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce committed $1 million towards the construction of a roundabout on the New England Highway.
The funding is in addition to the state and local governments' contribution of $1 million each.
“We’ve been waiting for this federal funding for some time,” Northern Tableland MP Adam Marshall said.
“It’s a multi, multi million dollar project but without the roundabout, the whole thing couldn’t go ahead,” he said.
“Council can now proceed with some certainty.”
Armidale Regional Council interim general manager Glenn Wilcox said Council was “shovel ready” and development could begin soon.
