Sydney siege: Martin Place Lindt cafe hostage situation leads to
road closures and transport diversions

Transport authorities have urged people to stay away from Sydney's
CBD due to the ongoing siege in Martin Place.

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.
