ISLAMABAD: Islamabad residents have been advised to use alternative routes as traffic diversions are planned at various locations along the Expressway and Srinagar Highway due to the movement of cricket teams.

According to an Islamabad Police spokesperson, commuters traveling during diversions on Srinagar Highway should use Suhrawardy Road, the service roads of sectors G-8 and G-9, and Zero Point.

Traffic heading towards Faizabad should take Faisal Avenue, while motorists traveling towards Ninth Avenue are advised to use the eastern service road.

Meanwhile, commuters entering Islamabad from Koral can reach their destinations via Old Airport Road, Rawal Road, Murree Road, IJP Road, and Faqir Eppi Road.

In case of closures on Koral Expressway, Murree Road, or Club Road, citizens should use Lehtrar Road and Park Road as alternative routes. Those traveling towards New Islamabad International Airport or Peshawar Road are advised to take Jinnah Avenue and Margalla Road.

Similarly, commuters arriving in Islamabad from Bhara Kahu should use the routes via Bani Gala and Park Road.

Islamabad Traffic Police warned that traffic congestion is likely to increase on several major roads during the diversions. Citizens have therefore been advised to allow an additional 20 to 25 minutes for their journeys to avoid delays.

Chief Traffic Officer Kainat Azhar Khan said traffic police personnel would remain deployed at various locations to facilitate commuters and ensure the smooth flow of traffic.
