Morphology
The meaning 'to move or go along a particular route' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'travel' (to journey) with 'along' (following a line or direction). This motion verb + directional particle pattern is a common, compositional construction cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrasal verb travel along creates a simple picture: travel means to move and along shows you follow a line or path, like walking along a road or a river. So, it means 'to move or go along a particular route'.
