Commuters have been warned to take their time on the way home and travel with "extreme care" due to the strong winds.

A few hours ahead of the evening peak, here's the state of play in our transport system, according to the Transport Management Centre.  

Barangaroo: Sussex Street closed between Erskine Street and Napoleon Street after building damage. Traffic, including buses, is being diverted onto Kent Street, while pedestrians have been told to avoid the area.

Northbridge: Sailors Bay Road closed in both directions at Eastern Valley Way.

T1 North Shore, Northern & Western Line: Commuters must allow extra travel time due to "an object in overhead wiring" at Strathfield. Earlier infrastructure repairs near Milsons Point will also cause delays.

T2 Inner West & South Line: The Strathfield object also causing delays here, as is an earlier grass fire at Bardwell Park.

T3 Bankstown Line: A tree has fallen on the tracks at Canterbury. Allow extra time.

Port Botany: Buses diverting away from Military Road due to fallen wires. They will miss seven stops, diverting through Botany Road and Bumborah Point Road.

Sutherland: Some more fallen wires at Linden Street mean buses are diverting away from Leonay Street, using The Grand Parade instead.

F7 Eastern Suburbs ferries: Only running between Circular Quay and Rose Bay, with Watsons Bay Wharf closed.

F3 Parramatta River ferries: Not dropping off passengers at Cockatoo Island Wharf, however passengers will be picked up from there.
