Public Notice: Local Infrastructure Upgrades and Community Health Roundup

Road Infrastructure and Traffic Alerts

Albury residents and commuters are advised of several ongoing infrastructure projects impacting traffic flow across the city and regional arteries for Saturday, 7 March 2026. Motorists should plan for minor delays and follow all temporary signage.

• Hume Highway (Table Top): The Table Top upgrade project has entered a high-activity phase. Drivers can expect single lane closures and a reduced speed limit in the work zone between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. Estimated delays are approximately five minutes, though travelers heading further north toward Marulan should prepare for 20 to 30-minute delays due to 24/7 resurfacing works.
• Burrows Road Reconstruction: In South Albury, reconstruction works continue with a focus on new watermain installations. Temporary lane narrowing is in effect, and motorists are urged to maintain awareness of site workers.
• Lavington Drainage Works: Major drainage reconstruction is progressing between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Current activity includes demolition and shotcrete applications near the railway line, resulting in localized diversions.
• Thurgoona Link Road: Stage 5 of the Thurgoona Link Road project remains active. Contractors are currently performing Kerr Road sewer and water trunk main installations.
