Islamabad traffic plan announced for Pak-Sri-Lanka, Tri-Series in Rawalpindi

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Traffic Police has devised a comprehensive traffic plan in connection with the ongoing One-Day and Tri-Nation Cricket Series at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

It has further been learned that the ITP has deputed over 300 officers to regulate traffic flow to maintain smooth movement for the cricket teams and the general public.

Special arrangements have been made to transport teams from Islamabad to the stadium with minimal disruption to commuters.

Traffic Diversion Plan

The ITP has also prepared diversions in case roads are temporarily closed. Faislal Avenue-bound motorists may take Srinagar Highway, Club Road via Faizabad, and Park Road via Lehtrar Road. Motorists at 9th Avenue may take Sabzi Mandi Mor–Police Lines Chowk via Srinagar Highway or Golra Mor–Peshawar Mor–Srinagar Highway.

The alternative route suggested for the residents traveling from Margalla Road towards Khanna is Blue Area–Club Road–Lehtrar Road.

Officers are also deployed at the service roads to coordinate with the motorists and regulate traffic discipline, particularly during rush hours when the movement of cricket teams slows down the traffic on the Expressway and Srinagar Highway.

Motorists have been advised to plan their journeys with extra time and exercise patience during team movements. Regular traffic updates and advisories are being issued through the official social media accounts of Islamabad Police and FM Radio 92.4. For emergencies, the public can reach out to Pucar-15 or the Traffic Helpline at 1915.
