VicRoads suggest commuters use St Georges Road or Lygon Street as alternatives but allow extra time through the area.
Buses are replacing Route 96 trams between Stop 10 Parliament Station and East Brunswick, diverting via Scotchmer St, St Georges Rd and Brunswick Rd.
Passengers may also consider Route 11 trams in Brunswick Street/St Georges Road as an alternative.
