Expect a slow journey if you head through Melbourne on Sunday, with extensive road and rail works set to impact travel across the city.

Commuters and drivers are being urged to plan ahead and allow plenty of time to get to their destination.

The large program of works coincides with Run Melbourne, which will add further pain for commuters with major road closures in place, including parts of St Kilda Road, Spencer Street, Clarendon Street and Batman Avenue, from 4am on Sunday until 1pm.

“If you’re travelling through South Melbourne, Southbank, East Melbourne or the CBD on Sunday, allow extra time and consider finding an alternative route or delaying travel if you can," Public Transport Victoria spokeswoman Georgia Main said.
