Smooth Sunday Travel Across Albury; Ongoing Works in Lavington and Thurgoona

Sunday Traffic Overview

Albury commuters and residents can expect a relatively smooth run across the city today, Sunday, 15 February 2026. While the major cross-border traffic disruptions associated with the annual City2City Run/Walk are still a week away, several significant council-led infrastructure projects remain active. Drivers are encouraged to maintain awareness of changed traffic conditions and speed limits in specific construction zones.

Major Roadworks and Local Construction

As of mid-February, Albury City Council has several high-impact projects underway that may influence local travel times. Drivers should take note of the following locations:

• Burrows Road Reconstruction: Work continues on the total reconstruction of Burrows Road. This project, which commenced in late January, involves significant water main upgrades and road resurfacing. Local detours may be in place, and motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible or follow all posted directional signage.
• Lavington Drainage Works: The drainage reconstruction project between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street is ongoing. While Sunday work is typically limited, traffic management remains in place, including reduced speed limits and potential lane narrows between Nowra Street and the railway line.
• Thurgoona Link Road (Stage 5): Construction is progressing on Stage 5 near Kerr Road. Heavy machinery may be visible near the roadside, and commuters heading toward the newer developments in Thurgoona should watch for site entry and exit points.
• Australia Park: The levee and carpark construction at Australia Park continues. While this has a lower impact on through-traffic, visitors to the riverfront should be aware of restricted parking and heavy vehicle movements near the vehicle crossing.

Public Transport and Regional Alerts

Public transport services are currently operating on a standard Sunday timetable. There are no major trackwork alerts reported for the Southern NSW Line today; however, travelers using NSW TrainLink services toward Melbourne or Sydney are always advised to check for real-time delays via official transport apps. Local bus services through Albury and Wodonga are running as scheduled, though some minor route deviations may exist near the Lavington work zones.

Upcoming Alerts: City2City 2026

While today’s commute is largely clear, Albury.news reminds residents that the SS&A City2City Run/Walk is scheduled for next Sunday, 22 February 2026. This major event will result in the total closure of Dean Street, Wodonga Place, and the Lincoln Causeway during the morning hours. Residents who usually commute between Albury and Wodonga on Sundays should begin planning alternative routes for the following week.

Commuter Advice

With fine weather forecast, traffic volume is expected to be moderate. The Hume Highway through the Albury bypass remains clear of major incidents this morning. If you are traveling through residential construction zones in Lavington or South Albury, please adhere to the 40km/h work zone speed limits to ensure the safety of site infrastructure and local residents.
