Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has advised motorists to use the Murree Expressway route as a detour while the GT Road undergoes essential repairs. The advisory was issued on July 15 and will remain in effect until July 20, affecting travel between Islamabad and Murree.
According to ITP officials, the roadwork is necessary for improving safety and infrastructure along the GT Road. Drivers are being directed to follow the alternative route via the Murree Expressway to avoid delays and potential hazards on the main highway during this period.
The advisory was first published by Associated Press Of Pakistan (APP) and aims to ensure smooth traffic flow while minimizing disruptions to daily travel routines. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly, especially those traveling between Islamabad and Murree for work or leisure purposes.
ITP has emphasized the importance of following these instructions carefully to avoid any inconvenience during the repair period. The agency is also urging drivers to exercise caution on both routes, as road conditions may be altered due to ongoing construction activities.
Local residents and businesses along the GT Road have been informed about the changes in advance, allowing them to adjust their travel plans or make necessary arrangements for deliveries and other services that rely on regular traffic flow.
ITP has stated that they will provide updates as the work progresses and any further changes to the advisory will be communicated through official channels. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed by checking ITP’s website or social media platforms for real-time information.
The temporary closure of parts of the GT Road is expected to impact local businesses, particularly those dependent on regular traffic flow. However, authorities have assured that alternative routes will ensure minimal disruption to essential services and public transportation.
