"Customers are advised to plan their journey by visiting transportnsw.info or using the trip planning apps on their mobile devices," Transport for NSW said.
Will the repairs affect Vivid?
Transport for NSW said it would work hard to minimise the impact on passengers by focusing on "quieter sections of the network and outside peak periods".
"To help people get to and from Vivid, additional services into the city are running on the T2, T4 and T8 lines," the trackwork alert said.
"There's also extra capacity for trains coming into the city from the Blue Mountains and South Coast."
