PAK v AUS: Traffic plan devised for Rawalpindi Test match

The Rawalpindi Traffic police has devised a traffic plan for the highly anticipated Test series between Pakistan and Australia.

The series is scheduled to kick off on March 4 with Australia playing their first match on Pakistan soil after 24 years.

According to Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Rawalpindi Taimoor Khan, close to 350 traffic police personnel will perform special duties during the match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Here are the detailed plan devised by the Rawalpindi Traffic Police:

• Stadium Road — from Ninth Avenue Chowk to Double Road — will be completely closed during the match
• Traffic on Double Road coming from Islamabad can use Expressway and Murree Road from Faizabad
• Ninth Avenue traffic diverted onto Double Road can enter Rawalpindi through IJP Road, Pindora Chungi, Katarian, Carriage Factory, and Pirwadhai turns.
• The Murree Road will remain complete closed from Faizabad to Double Road once the teams are ready for departure from the ground
• Traffic from Rawalpindi to Islamabad will be diverted from Sixth Road to Saidpur Road.

Additional personnel will be deployed to keep traffic flowing on alternative routes.
