ACT Policing is alerting Canberrans about traffic disruptions to occur tomorrow and Friday due to a guest of government visit.

Traffic disruptions may occur from about 8am Thursday (5 March 2026) through to 9am Friday (6 March 2026) on roads to and from Canberra Airport, and around Yarralumla and Parliament House.

People travelling to Canberra Airport at these times should leave plenty of time to make scheduled flights, factoring in potential delays on the roads.

Drivers who find themselves in delayed traffic are reminded to obey the directions of police, and if stopped, should not break road rules (including crossing verges, paths or median strips). Disruptions will be kept to a minimum.

If road users encounter police managing a motorcade we ask that they:

  • Be aware of their surroundings at all times
  • Obey the directions of police - especially at intersections
  • Be patient
  • Don’t drive over median strips or perform illegal u-turns
  • Recognise that the delay will be for a short period only as the motorcade moves through

ACT Policing thanks Canberra's drivers for their understanding as this operation occurs.
