Hume Dam
North of Albury, a major deviation of the highway was constructed in the 1930s due to the inundation of the original route caused by the raising of the wall of the Hume Dam on the Murray River. The deviation commences at Bowna and terminates at Guinea St Albury (the first part of the Riverina Highway east from Albury as far as what is now Old Sydney Road was until then the Hume Highway). On the southern side at Bowna Waters the old route terminates at dead end. On the northern side the old route is now a road that services local farms, including Willow Park, with the remainder of the old route now being part of private property and inaccessible to road traffic. Parts of the old route are visible when the waters of Lake Hume are low from the air and satellite imagery (Google Map)
