In view of the Test matches between Pakistan and South Africa scheduled to begin on October 20, Islamabad Traffic Policy has issued a travel advisory, along with details of alternative traffic routes.
During matches, cricket teams will travel between Islamabad and Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with 310 traffic officers deployed on key routes to manage traffic flow and ensure minimal disruption to commuters.
To facilitate passage for citizens, the capital’s traffic police have suggested an alternative transit route:
- Commuters traveling from Margalla Road towards Khanna should use Faisal Avenue via Blue Area, Club Road and Lehtrar Road.
- For those heading towards sectors G-9, G-10, G-11 and Tarnol, use Faisal Avenue via Highway F-10.
- Travelers coming from Rawalpindi Saddar to Islamabad are advised to use Srinagar Highway via Peshawar Morr.
- Motorists using IJP Road to enter Islamabad should take Sabzi Mandi Road.
Islamabad Traffic Police officers will be present on the service roads to guide commuters and ensure smooth flow of traffic.
Traffic congestion may occur on the Expressway and Srinagar Highway during morning office and school hours as well as afternoon rush hours.
Citizens have been asked to allow more travel time during rush hours and to be patient. The Islamabad traffic police have assured that they will make all possible efforts to minimize inconvenience to the public.
