Islamabad Police issued an updated traffic plan ahead of the arrival of foreign delegations in the capital, announcing extensive road closures and diversions across key routes.

According to the plan, the Red Zone and Extended Red Zone will remain completely closed to all types of traffic. The Expressway from Koral to Zero Point will also be shut, while traffic on the Srinagar Highway may be suspended at various intervals.

Entry of heavy traffic into Islamabad from all directions will remain prohibited during the period, with authorities advising transporters to avoid travel towards the city to prevent inconvenience.

For city residents, alternative routes have been designated. Residents of G-5, G-6, G-7, F-6 and F-7 have been advised to use Ninth Avenue via Margalla Road for movement between Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Traffic from Faisal Avenue towards Zero Point will be diverted to Ninth Avenue.

In case of closure between Zero Point and Koral Chowk, commuters may use Ninth Avenue from Srinagar Highway, then proceed via Stadium Road, Murree Road, Chandni Chowk and Rawal Road to reach Koral.

If Park Road to Club Road is closed, traffic will be diverted towards Taramri Chowk. Residents travelling between Bara Kahu and Rawalpindi have been advised to use Korang Road and Bani Gala.

Similarly, commuters from Rawalpindi’s Saddar may use either Colonel Sher Khan Road to Faqir Appi Road or Ninth Avenue.

Heavy traffic between GT Road and Peshawar or Lahore will be routed via Taxila Motorway, Chakri Interchange, Chak Beli Road and Rawat GT Road, with reverse arrangements also in place.

Islamabad Police have advised citizens to stay updated through their WhatsApp channel, social media pages and ITP FM 92.4.
