The disruption is likely to have affected concert-goers heading to and from the Co-op Live arena, where singer Jason Derulo is performing.
The Etihad Campus Metrolink stop, which is the closest to Co-op Live, is just one stop away from Holt Town.
Earlier in the day, the Bee Network posted on social media to warn drivers that the roads around the arena and Co-op arena and Etihad campus are likely to be busy and encouraging concert-goers to use the tram service instead.
