Temporary traffic lights are in operation on the intersection of Blowes Road and Elsham Avenue and were installed by Haslin Constructions, the company building the new rail overpass bridge.
Due to progress on the construction site, only one lane of a nearby section of Elsham Avenue will be open for traffic in coming weeks.
The lights will affect traffic using the tee-intersection at the corner of Blowes Road and Elsham Avenue.
Since the lights were turned on Friday last week, the timing of the lights has been adjusted to reduce delays for passing traffic.
Council staff and the contractors will continue to monitor traffic impacts and make further adjustments is needed.
Drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes and avoid the area if possible with the lights expected to be in place for about two months.
The installation of temporary traffic lights in the area comes after council received the green light to progress on stage three of the road.
The two kilometre section of the road follows the path of Dairy Creek Road, alongside the Leewood Industrial Estate.
