Cars are banked up past the Crossenvale shops in Ogilvie Ave as the works have reduced traffic to one lane, controlled by one traffic light.
Sergeant Paul Nicoll of Campaspe Highway Patrol said it was a VicRoads responsibility.
"There is nothing police can do as the traffic light is automated," he said.
"It's atrocious. The same thing happened last weekend and traffic was banked up past McSwains Rd."
He advised motorists to try to avoid the area if possible or use an alternate route to get out of town.
"You can either go through Nanneella or go onto Mt Terricks Rd and onto Mitiamo Rd," he said.
"Also be patient and drive safely."
VicRoads, which is now part of the Department of transport, has been contacted.
