Commuter Alert: Lane Closures at Table Top and Local Upgrades to Slow Tuesday Traffic

Hume Highway and Regional Arteries

Commuters heading north on the Hume Highway today, Tuesday, 3 March 2026, should prepare for minor delays due to ongoing infrastructure upgrades. Transport for NSW has confirmed that the Table Top upgrade project is currently in a high-activity phase. Motorists can expect single lane closures and a reduced speed limit in the work zone between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. While estimated delays are approximately five minutes, travelers are advised to allow extra time during peak morning and afternoon periods.

For those planning a longer journey toward Sydney, significant resurfacing work continues further north on the Hume Highway near Marulan. This 24/7 project involves contraflow conditions and single lane closures, which may result in additional travel times of 20 to 30 minutes. If you are traveling beyond the local Albury-Wodonga region, please plan your rest stops and arrival times accordingly.

Urban Roadworks and Street Upgrades

Within Albury, several local road reconstruction projects are impacting neighborhood traffic flow. In Lavington, the major drainage reconstruction project is progressing between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Current works include demolition and shotcrete applications for the section between Nowra Street and the railway line. Residents and commuters in the area should expect localized diversions and heavy machinery movements.

In the city south, the reconstruction of Burrows Road remains a priority. Work on the new watermain is currently in progress, which may result in temporary lane narrowing. Motorists are encouraged to maintain awareness of site workers and follow all temporary signage to ensure safety in these residential zones.

Thurgoona Link Road Progress

The Thurgoona-Wirlinga growth corridor is seeing increased activity this morning as Stage 5 of the Thurgoona Link Road project continues. Contractors are currently focused on the Kerr Road sewer and water trunk main installations. While most work is occurring off the main carriageway, there will be frequent truck movements entering and exiting the site near the intersection. Drivers should exercise caution when navigating the Kerr Road area today.

Public Transport and Airport News

Public transport users can breathe a sigh of relief as V/Line rail services on the Albury line have returned to their standard schedule following the major maintenance works conducted over the past weekend. While no scheduled coach replacements are listed for today, commuters are encouraged to check for any residual minor delays through official service apps. Local bus services through Martins Albury and Buslines are currently reporting a normal Tuesday timetable.

At Albury Airport, construction on the Taxiway Alpha extension is ongoing. Although stage one night works have concluded, daytime construction activity continues. While these works are not expected to impact flight arrival or departure times, passengers are reminded that construction traffic near the airport precinct may slightly slow access to the terminal parking and drop-off zones.
