Transport for NSW Traffic Alert: 27 February 2026
Motorists are advised of temporary traffic changes around the University of Wollongong and TAFE NSW to manage congestion as thousands of students and staff return for 2026.
The traffic changes will begin at the start of the semester on Monday 2 March and be implemented weekdays between 7.45am and 9.15am until Friday 10 April.
Traffic controllers will be on site to divert southbound traffic exiting the M1 Motorway at University Avenue left to make a U-turn at the eastern roundabout. University-bound motorists will then be detoured to the western access route via Murphys Avenue and Robsons Road.
Motorists wishing to access the M1 Princes Motorway northbound from Keiraville or Gwynneville should do so via the Robsons Road entry at West Wollongong to avoid delays.
Bus access from University Avenue into Irvine Street will not be affected during diversions and outside peak periods traffic will continue to access the University via Irvine Street and Northfields Avenue.
