ISLAMABAD: The motorway section from Anbar Interchange in Swabi to Islamabad has been closed to all traffic. The motorway has been closed ahead of the PTI’s long march amid security concerns.
Officials have not yet announced when authorities will reopen the affected motorway section. Traffic heading towards Islamabad from Anbar Interchange has come to a complete halt. The closure has also disrupted travel plans for several passengers.
Passengers Face Difficulties
Meanwhile, travellers heading towards Islamabad International Airport have also become stranded because of the motorway closure. Several passengers reportedly reached the affected area but could not continue their journey towards the federal capital.
Moreover, travellers are facing difficulties finding suitable alternative routes to Islamabad. The closure has created additional pressure on available roads connecting Swabi with the capital. The situation has particularly affected people travelling for urgent work, airport departures and other essential commitments.
No Reopening Time Announced
However, authorities have not provided a clear timeline for reopening the motorway. As a result, travellers remain uncertain about when they can resume their journeys. Traffic movement from Anbar Interchange towards Islamabad remains suspended until further notice. Commuters have consequently been advised to remain alert and seek updated information before starting their journeys.
Furthermore, passengers planning to travel towards Islamabad Airport should allow additional time for their journeys. They may also face delays while using alternative routes. The motorway closure has therefore caused significant disruption for motorists travelling between Swabi and Islamabad.
Authorities are expected to issue further updates regarding the closure and traffic movement. Until then, travellers should remain cautious and check the latest traffic situation before leaving.
