Lane Closures on Hume Highway and Heavy Delays in Lavington This Tuesday

Morning Commuter Alert: Hume Highway and Table Top

Commuters heading north from Albury this Tuesday, 24 March 2026, should prepare for travel disruptions on the Hume Highway. 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 of 40km/h in the work zone between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. While estimated delays are approximately five to ten minutes, commuters are advised to allow extra time during the peak morning rush. Those traveling further north toward Marulan should also be aware of ongoing resurfacing work involving contraflow conditions, which may add significantly more time to longer regional journeys.

Urban Roadworks: Lavington and South Albury

Local traffic within Albury will face several active construction zones today. In Lavington, the major drainage reconstruction project is continuing between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Localized diversions remain in effect, and heavy machinery is expected to be operating near the railway line. Residents and commuters should use alternate routes where possible to avoid congestion near the Nowra Street intersection.

In South Albury, the redevelopment of Burrows Road has transitioned into a critical pavement construction phase. Works are concentrated between Logan Road and Union Road following the completion of watermain installations. Motorists should expect narrow lanes and frequent truck movements. Caution is urged when navigating this corridor, particularly near high-activity machinery.

Thurgoona Link Road and Airport Updates

The Thurgoona-Wirlinga growth corridor remains a high-traffic area this morning as Stage 5 of the Thurgoona Link Road project progresses. Crews are currently focused on sewer and water trunk main installations at the Kerr Road intersection. While most work is occurring off the main carriageway, there will be frequent truck movements entering and exiting the site. Additionally, asphalt laying is ongoing at Albury Airport for the Taxiway Alpha extension. While this primarily affects airport operations, travelers should remain aware of increased service vehicle traffic on surrounding access roads.

Hospital Precinct and Public Transport

At the Albury Wodonga Regional Hospital, steel deliveries for the new Northeast Building are scheduled to continue throughout the day. Pedestrians should note that the walkway has been shifted across the Northern verge to ensure safety during these heavy lifts. Additional traffic controllers are on-site near Borella Road to manage vehicle and pedestrian flow near the healthcare worker accommodation construction site.

Public transport services, including V/Line and NSW TrainLink, are currently reporting normal operations for the Albury line. However, bus commuters should check for minor timetable adjustments due to the localized diversions in Lavington and South Albury. No major rail disruptions are reported for this morning's services.
