Special event clearways will be in place between North Sydney and Sydney Olympic Park from 3am until 2pm (Sunday 16 October) and motorists are advised to check signs before parking to avoid vehicles being towed away.
Operation commander, Superintendent Paul Carrett, is urging motorists to allow plenty of additional travel time and to expect delays during the closures. Motorists should also be aware cyclists – including children – will be riding on roads.
"If you're planning on coming into the Sydney CBD, I urge you to plan your trip, use public transport and be patient as there may be traffic delays along a number of streets," Superintendent Carrett said.
The Royal Botanic Gardens will not be accessible by car due to the road closures so those heading to the Opera House are advised to catch the train or the bus to Circular Quay.
