Official Notice: Weekend Community Events and Regional Infrastructure Updates

Infrastructure and Roadwork Progress Reports

AlburyCity is currently managing a significant schedule of infrastructure upgrades designed to enhance the safety and reliability of our local network. For Saturday, 21 March 2026, the following project activities are active. Residents are advised to plan their travel accordingly to avoid potential delays in these zones:

• Lavington Drainage Reconstruction: Significant progress is being made on the drainage systems between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Crews are currently focused on retaining wall construction. Motorists are reminded that localized diversions remain in effect to ensure the safety of workers and the public.
• Burrows Road Redevelopment: Following the successful installation of the new watermain, work has transitioned to road pavement construction between Logan Road and Union Road. High-activity machinery will be present in this South Albury corridor throughout the weekend.
• Thurgoona Link Road (Stage 5): Construction has moved into the sewer and water trunk main phase at the Kerr Road intersection. This stage follows the completion of critical underboring activities and is a vital step in the expansion of the Thurgoona-Wirlinga growth corridor.
• Airport Operations: Asphalt laying is ongoing at Albury Airport for the Taxiway Alpha extension. These works are part of the broader runway overlay and aeromedical support apron upgrades, with completion targeted before the upcoming Easter holiday period.
