Infrastructure and Traffic Management Notice

Motorists are advised of several active roadworks and infrastructure projects across the region that may impact travel times on Thursday, 12 March:

• Hume Highway (Table Top): Infrastructure upgrades are currently in a high-activity phase. Drivers should expect single lane closures and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. Delays of approximately five to ten minutes are anticipated.
• Lavington Drainage Project: Major drainage reconstruction is progressing between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Heavy machinery movements and localized diversions are in place near the railway line.
• South Albury Watermain Works: The reconstruction of Burrows Road remains a priority, with active watermain installations causing temporary lane narrowing. Awareness of site workers is requested in this residential zone.
• Thurgoona Link Road Stage 5: Construction teams are focused on Kerr Road for sewer and water trunk main installations as part of the ongoing growth corridor development.
