Sunday Traffic: Smooth CBD Run While Hume Highway Resurfacing Triggers Northbound Delays

Sunday Traffic Overview

Good morning, Albury. As we move into Sunday, 29 March 2026, commuters and residents can expect a generally clear run through the central business district. While the city streets are quiet for the weekend, those venturing toward the northern growth corridors or planning long-distance travel on the Hume Highway will encounter several active work zones that require patience and extra travel time.

Hume Highway and Regional Arteries

The most significant impact for regional travelers today remains the extensive resurfacing project near Marulan. This project is operating 24/7 and is not expected to conclude until early April. For Albury residents heading north toward Sydney, contraflow conditions are in place, adding approximately 20 to 30 minutes to total travel times. Motorists are advised to check vehicle fluids and fuel levels before departure due to the stop-start nature of the traffic through this zone.

• Table Top: The $25 million safety upgrade project remains active roughly 14 kilometers north of Albury. While Sunday sees reduced crew activity, single-lane closures and work-zone speed limits are still in effect. Anticipate minor delays of approximately five minutes.
• Lincoln Causeway: Links between Albury and Wodonga are reporting standard Sunday morning flows with no major disruptions or planned maintenance currently affecting the causeway.

Local Roadworks and Suburb Diversions

Within the Albury city limits, several long-term infrastructure projects continue to influence local traffic patterns. Although Sunday is a rest day for most crews, barriers and diversions remain essential for site safety:

• Lavington: Drainage reconstruction is ongoing between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Commuters should follow the signposted diversions between Nowra Street and the railway line to avoid the primary work site.
• South Albury: The redevelopment of Burrows Road is in a high-activity phase. Road pavement construction between Logan Road and Union Road has resulted in temporary lane narrowing. Residents are asked to maintain awareness of site workers and modified access points.
• Thurgoona: Stage 5 of the Thurgoona Link Road project is currently focused on the Kerr Road intersection. Trunk main installations for water and sewer are progressing, affecting the main approach into the Thurgoona-Wirlinga growth area.

Public Transport and Airport Updates

Regional rail services, including V/Line and NSW TrainLink, are operating on a standard Sunday timetable today. While there are no coach replacements scheduled for the Albury line this morning, travelers heading into the Sydney metropolitan area should be aware of trackwork affecting parts of the Sydney Trains network, which may impact connecting journeys.

At Albury Airport, asphalt work continues for the Taxiway Alpha extension. These upgrades are part of a broader project to enhance aeromedical support and runway capacity. While flight arrivals and departures remain on schedule, please be mindful of increased heavy vehicle movements near the terminal access roads.
