"Motorists should exercise caution and follow the directions of emergency services and traffic crews on site," the Transport Management Centre said.
The delays come ahead of a planned strike among light rail workers on Wednesday, which is expected to cause more headaches for commuters.
No trams on the L1, L2 and L3 line will run between 8am to 10am and 4pm to 6pm on Wednesday.
