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.

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.
