Sydney Transport Management Centre spokesman David Wright warned commuters and motorists to expect changes to traffic and public transport to occur at short notice. "Keep in mind in an event like this it's very, very common that things may close and change very, very quickly," Mr Wright said. "So what you're seeing now may change in five minutes and we're doing our best to communicate that. "But if you need to go into the city please try and change your planning because I don't think they're [going] away anytime soon." Mr Wright said trains had resumed on the Eastern Suburbs and I llawarra line however trains were not stopping at Martin Place station. "Of course the thing in an operational environment like this, we may also see lines like the Eastern Suburbs Illawarra line as well once again be partially closed at very, very short notice so obviously everything is being done to keep these lines open and the scenario like this we could have them closed very quickly," he said. He said Macquarie Street had been closed and several other road closures were in place. "Obviously that whole CBD area that is around that Martin Place precinct has been locked down," said Mr Wright. "A lot of road closures, obviously we can't get buses in there. "We want to make sure people don't go in there, that those roads are available for emergency services." All city-bound traffic travelling over the Sydney Harbour Bridge is being diverted via the Western Distributor and there is no southbound access to the Cahill Expressway, York Street or Harbour Street. Mr Wright said there was no northbound access to the Cahill Expressway and all traffic is being diverted into the Sydney Harbour Tunnel. Northbound traffic on the Western Distributor cannot use the King Street exits and motorists are being diverted over Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Transport Management Centre said buses entering and exiting the city were also being diverted and schedules and routes may change at short notice. Buses on Elizabeth Street that normally run to Circular Quay are being terminated at Hyde Park, with services leaving the city starting from St James Station. Buses travelling in and out of the city from a southerly direction are terminating at Central Station. For the latest traffic information visit www.livetraffic.com or call 132 701.
