Islamabad: The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has announced a traffic diversion plan for Shaheen Chowk on Margalla Road, where construction work is currently underway. The plan will remain in effect daily from 4pm to 7pm to ensure a smooth traffic flow during peak hours.

An ITP spokesperson told APP on Saturday that, under the plan:

Motorists coming from E-11 and DCI Road should use the F-10 Service Road via Jinnah Avenue.

Those traveling from Ninth Avenue toward Margalla Road should take a right turn from F-9 Park Gate 5 and use F-8 Park Road.

Commuters from Margalla Road heading to F-10 should turn left from Faisal Chowk to access Jinnah Avenue, or alternatively, use PN Zafar Chowk (F-8, near Ali Medical Center) to reach Jinnah Avenue or Ninth Avenue.

The spokesperson added that ITP officers are deployed on-site to ensure uninterrupted traffic movement. “We regret any inconvenience caused during the diversion period,” he said.

He also advised motorists to contact the Pucar-15 or 1915 helpline for real-time traffic updates or in case of an emergency, reiterating that the ITP remains fully committed to facilitating citizens and ensuring safe, orderly movement across the capital.
