The Macleay Valley Way is a road in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales that connects the Pacific Highway to Kempsey and Frederickton.

The Macleay Valley Way branches from the Pacific Highway at the Kempsey South Service Centre.

Instead of bypassing population centres, the Macleay Valley Way passes through the towns of Kempsey and Frederickton.

The new bridge over the Macleay River and bypass of Kempsey and Frederickton was opened first, on 27 March 2013.

[3][4] This northern section of Macleay Valley Way includes the part of the former Pacific Highway that was the site of the Kempsey bus crash which occurred in the locality of Clybucca in 1989 when two loaded tour buses collided head-on.
