Work crews have been on site this week resurfacing the access between Elgin Boulevard and Jack Hore Way with original pavers on the roadway being damaged in part by daily high traffic volumes.

Also, in line with a Wodonga Council decision made last year, Church Street has become a no-through road with bollards erected near the Goods Shed following replacement asphalt being laid.

A council spokesperson said asphalt would provide a more longer-wearing surface which was better suited to the vehicle turning movements that occur in the areas.

The works will cost up to $60,000.

Another 80 car parks have been created as part of a temporary expansion of Junction Square on the former caryard site to open next week and can be accessed from the northern approach to the area.

"Junction Square and Richardson Park are well-used by our community and visitors and this move will improve pedestrian safety in the area with a significant reduction in vehicle speeds and through traffic while also enriching the overall amenity of this key precinct," Wodonga Council chief executive Mark Dixon said.

"Parking is still available in Church Street and Elgin Boulevard with a significant increase now available next to Junction Square with the opening of the temporary car park and green space bounded by High Street, Jack Hore Way and Church Street.".

Final line-marking of the temporary car park has also been carried out this week.

But temporary fencing around the grassed areas will remain for another month to allow the grass to consolidate.

Wodonga Police recommended Church Street no longer be a through road after council back-flipped on creating no standing zones which would have led to a loss of car parking spaces.

Council has also announced a new 60km/h speed zone on the Wodonga approach at Westmont Aged Care to John Schubert Drive on Baranduda Boulevard.

It will reduce to 40km/h during school times in front of St Francis of Assisi Primary School.

Meanwhile, Albury Council will complete the twin tasks of upgrading water mains and improving the streetscape of Mate Street.

Water mains located under the Mate Street footpaths between Union Road and Tarakan Avenue are approaching the end of their design life.

Streetscape works include a new footpath, kerbing, garden beds and street furniture.

The council has accepted a $856,510.60 tender from contractors Excell Gray Bruni for the works even though the company wasn't the cheapest option.

It is presently working on the latest stage of the Wagga Road upgrade after completing earlier sections beginning at the Five Ways.
