Lane closures and detours have been ordered for the roads around the fire-damaged Thain's Building while it's being demolished.

A one-way traffic system is required for northbound traffic along Taupō Quay between Victoria Ave and St Hill St from tomorrow to Friday August 23.

The detour for northbound traffic heading to the City Bridge will be in place via St Hill St, Ridgway St, Drews Ave, and then Taupō Quay near the i-SITE building.

The restrictions will be in place daily between 9am and 4.30pm.

The City Bridge between Victoria Avenue and Anzac Parade will remain open.
