Commuters in the federal capital are being advised to plan their travel in advance, as traffic diversions will be in place on several major roads on Thursday between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM.
The Srinagar Highway, Club Road, and Express Highway will be temporarily affected during this period while authorities implement measures to maintain smooth traffic flow and ensure public safety. Drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes such as Jinnah Avenue, Ninth Avenue, Seventh Avenue, and inner-city service roads to avoid congestion.
Motorists are also advised to allow an extra 20 to 25 minutes for their journeys to account for potential delays. Officers from the Islamabad Traffic Police will be stationed at key locations to guide commuters, manage traffic, and ensure safety on the affected routes.
This advisory comes after earlier traffic alerts in the city, which included temporary diversions on the Srinagar Highway near Zero Point and Garden Avenue Express Highway from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Traffic authorities continue to urge residents to plan ahead and use alternate routes whenever possible to minimize delays and prevent unnecessary congestion.
For real-time traffic updates or assistance, commuters can reach out to the Traffic Helpline at 1915 or contact the emergency service Pukar 15. Authorities emphasize that staying informed and following the guidelines will help ease travel during peak hours and improve overall road safety in Islamabad.
By taking these precautions, citizens can avoid inconvenience and ensure smoother commuting experiences while authorities carry out necessary traffic management operations across the city. This proactive approach is part of ongoing efforts to maintain efficient traffic flow and safeguard commuters on busy routes.
