The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has announced a temporary traffic diversion plan for Shaheen Chowk on Margalla Road, where construction work is in progress. The plan will remain effective daily from 4 pm to 7 pm to ensure smooth traffic flow during peak hours.
An ITP spokesperson told APP on Saturday that several alternative routes have been designated under the new plan. Motorists coming from E-11 and DCI Road are advised to use the F-10 Service Road via Jinnah Avenue.
Similarly, drivers travelling from Ninth Avenue toward Margalla Road should take a right turn from F-9 Park Gate 5 and proceed through F-8 Park Road.
Commuters moving from Margalla Road to F-10 can either turn left from Faisal Chowk to access Jinnah Avenue or use PN Zafar Chowk (F-8, near Ali Medical Center) to reach Jinnah Avenue or Ninth Avenue.
The spokesperson said that ITP officers are deployed at key points to manage traffic and assist motorists. “We regret any inconvenience caused during this period,” he added.
The official also urged citizens to contact Pucar-15 or 1915 for real-time traffic updates or emergencies, reaffirming ITP’s commitment to ensuring safe and orderly traffic movement across the capital.
