"At Albion Park Rail, southbound, probably the longest delay was about 15 minutes."
The spokesperson said motorists should plan ahead, give themselves plenty of extra travel time, and take regular breaks.

On the South Coast, southbound traffic is heavy on the Princes Highway through Jaspers Brush.
Also, southbound traffic is heavy on the Princes Highway approaching Milton - allow at least 15 minutes' extra travel time.
