Islamabad Traffic Police has issued a traffic advisory announcing road closures and diversion routes on Ataturk Avenue due to ongoing construction work in the federal capital.
An ITP official said Ataturk Avenue will remain closed for traffic from Express Chowk to Ayub Chowk (Aga Khan Road), with the diversion plan taking effect from March 31, 2026, until the completion of the project.
He said commuters traveling from Jinnah Avenue towards the Marriott Hotel will be redirected through China Chowk, Press Club Road, Super Market, and Aga Khan Road.
Traffic coming from Khayaban-e-Suhrawardy and Embassy Road towards the Marriott Hotel will be routed via Shaheed-e-Millat Road, China Chowk underpass, Press Club Road, and Aga Khan Road. Motorists traveling from Srinagar Highway towards the Secretariat will use Serena Chowk, Globe Chowk, and Secretariat Chowk as alternate routes.
Commuters from Seventh Avenue can access the Secretariat via Margalla Road and Shahrah-e-Dastoor. Residents of Sector F-6 have been advised to use Seventh Avenue and Margalla Road as alternative routes during the closure period.
Islamabad Traffic Police has urged citizens to plan their travel in advance and cooperate with traffic personnel to ensure smooth traffic flow during the construction phase.
