Table Top Lane Closures and Evening Rail Coaches Impact Tuesday Commute

Morning Traffic and Commute Update: Tuesday, March 10, 2026

Welcome back to the regular commute following the Victorian Labour Day long weekend. As Albury-Wodonga residents return to work and school today, Tuesday, March 10, several major infrastructure projects and scheduled transport disruptions are expected to influence travel times across the Border region. While no major unplanned accidents have been reported this morning, commuters are advised to account for ongoing roadworks on key arteries.

Hume Highway and Regional Arteries

The high-activity phase of the Table Top upgrade project remains a primary concern for those heading north of Albury. Transport for NSW has confirmed that single-lane closures and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h or 60km/h will be in place between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm through the work zone. Motorists should anticipate minor delays of approximately five to ten minutes, particularly during the morning peak and school drop-off periods.

For long-distance travelers heading toward Sydney, significant resurfacing work continues near Marulan. This 24/7 project utilizes contraflow conditions and single-lane closures. If your journey takes you through this corridor, please allow an additional 20 to 30 minutes of travel time and plan your rest stops accordingly.

Lavington and Urban Roadworks

Local commuters in Lavington should remain alert for major drainage reconstruction projects. Work is currently concentrated between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street, with additional activity affecting the section between Nowra Street and the railway line. Expect localized diversions and the presence of heavy machinery. In South Albury, the reconstruction of Burrows Road is progressing. Construction of the new watermain is ongoing, which may result in temporary lane narrowing and shoulder closures. Drivers are encouraged to follow all temporary signage to ensure the safety of site workers.

Thurgoona Link Road Progress

In the Thurgoona-Wirlinga growth corridor, Stage 5 of the Thurgoona Link Road project continues to see high activity this morning. Contractors are focused on the Kerr Road sewer and water trunk main installations. While much of this work is situated off the main carriageway, there are frequent truck movements entering and exiting the site near the intersection. Drivers should exercise caution when navigating the Kerr Road area today.

Public Transport and Airport Alerts

Albury V/Line passengers are reminded of scheduled service changes impacting evening travel. Coaches will replace evening trains for the entire journey between Albury and Melbourne today, Tuesday, March 10. This disruption is part of a planned maintenance block and is expected to continue through Wednesday, March 11. Passengers should check the V/Line app for updated departure times as coach travel typically adds duration to the journey.

Local bus services, including Martins Albury and Buslines, are reporting a normal Tuesday timetable. Meanwhile, at Albury Airport, construction on the Taxiway Alpha extension is ongoing. While flights are operating on schedule, construction traffic near the terminal may slightly slow access to parking and drop-off zones.
