ISLAMABAD:

Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) on Monday announced temporary traffic diversions at different points along Islamabad Expressway and Srinagar Highway due to the movement of cricket teams, advising motorists to use alternative routes and allow an additional 20 to 25 minutes for their journeys.

An official said traffic diversions would be imposed at different locations along Srinagar Highway between Serena Chowk and Ninth Avenue to facilitate the movement of cricket teams.

He said motorists using Srinagar Highway could take Suhrawardy Road, G-8 Service Road, G-9 Service Road and Zero Point as alternative routes. Traffic heading towards Faizabad could use Faisal Avenue, while motorists travelling towards Ninth Avenue were advised to use Service Road East.

The official said citizens travelling from Koral towards Islamabad could use the old airport route, Rawal Road, Rawalpindi's Murree Road, IJP Road and Faqir Aipee Road. He said motorists could use Lehtrar Road and Park Road as alternative routes in case of closures on Koral Expressway.
