Hume Highway Upgrades and Lavington Roadworks to Impact Sunday Travel

Sunday Traffic and Commute Update: March 15, 2026

Commuters and travelers in the Albury-Wodonga region should prepare for minor disruptions today, Sunday, March 15, 2026, as several infrastructure projects continue across the local road network and the Hume Highway corridor. While overall traffic flow remains steady for a Sunday morning, specific work zones will require extra travel time.

Hume Highway Safety Upgrades

The $25 million safety upgrade project at Table Top, approximately 14 kilometers north of Albury, is currently in a high-activity phase. Motorists traveling northbound and southbound on the Hume Highway can expect the following conditions:

• Single Lane Closures: Work is being carried out under strict traffic control, with at least one lane remaining open in each direction.
• Speed Reductions: Reduced speed limits are in place throughout the 3.15-kilometer work zone between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm.
• Estimated Delays: Transport for NSW advises travelers to allow an additional 5 to 10 minutes for their journey through the Table Top precinct.

Local Roadworks and Lavington Disruptions

Within Albury and Lavington, several local reconstruction projects are impacting neighborhood traffic flow today:

• Lavington Drainage Works: Major drainage reconstruction continues between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Commuters should expect localized diversions and the presence of heavy machinery near the railway line section.
• Burrows Road Reconstruction: In the city south, work on the new watermain along Burrows Road may result in temporary lane narrowing. Motorists are encouraged to follow all temporary signage and remain alert for site workers.
• Thurgoona Link Road: Stage 5 of the Thurgoona Link Road project is progressing, specifically near Kerr Road. While major delays are not expected today, construction vehicles may be entering and exiting the site frequently.

Public Transport and Regional Alerts

Public transport users can expect a standard Sunday schedule today. V/Line and NSW TrainLink services on the Albury line are currently reporting no planned trackwork or coach replacements for this specific route. However, passengers heading toward Sydney should be aware of major events at Olympic Park (including Linkin Park and AFC Women's Asian Cup matches) which may cause congestion at the metropolitan end of the journey.

For those traveling late tonight, a Snowy 2.0 Heavy Load movement is scheduled to depart Bunyan at 9:00 pm tonight (Sunday) heading toward Lobs Hole. This oversized load will be under police and pilot escort, potentially causing rolling road closures on the regional highway network until 4:00 am Monday.

Albury Airport Access

Construction on the Taxiway Alpha extension at Albury Airport is ongoing. While flight schedules remain unaffected, construction traffic near the terminal precinct may slightly slow access to parking and drop-off zones. Travelers are advised to arrive at least 15 minutes earlier than usual.
