Cricket teams’ movement: ITP advises motorists to use alternative routes amid traffic diversions
ISLAMABAD, Nov 11 (APP):Motorists travelling on Islamabad Expressway and Srinagar Highway have been advised to use alternative routes and allow an additional 20 to 25 minutes for their journeys on Wednesday as Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) put traffic diversion arrangements in place for the movement of cricket teams.
An ITP official told APP on Wednesday that traffic diversions would be imposed at different locations along Srinagar Highway to facilitate the movement of cricket teams and ensure smooth traffic management in the federal capital.
He said motorists travelling on Srinagar Highway could use Suhrawardy Road, G-8 Service Road, G-9 Service Road and Zero Point as alternative routes.
Traffic heading towards Faizabad should use Faisal Avenue, while motorists travelling towards Ninth Avenue have been advised to take Service Road East.
The official said citizens travelling from Koral towards Islamabad could use the old airport route, Rawal Road, Rawalpindi’s Murree Road, IJP Road and Faqir Aipee Road.
In case of closures on Koral Expressway, Murree Road and Club Road, motorists have been advised to use Lehtrar Road and Park Road.
Similarly, citizens travelling towards New Islamabad International Airport and Peshawar Road should use Jinnah Avenue and Margalla Road, while those coming from Bhara Kahu towards Islamabad could travel through Bani Gala and Park Road.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Islamabad Kainat Azhar Khan said traffic pressure was expected to increase on major roads during the diversions and urged citizens to plan their journeys accordingly.
She advised motorists to leave for their destinations at least 20 to 25 minutes earlier than usual to avoid delays.
The CTO Kainat said ITP officers would remain deployed at different locations to guide motorists and facilitate traffic movement.
