KARACHI: The traffic police of Karachi announced Monday that two tracks of main University Road will remain closed for traffic.
Tracks of main University Road from Safura to Samama are closed for traffic, the traffic police said Monday.
However, as a result of the closure of roads, the traffic police have provided alternative routes for the commuters.
According to the traffic authorities, the traffic is immediately being diverted from NIPA onto the Dow University (Ojha Campus) turning and it is being directed to Safura via Sachal.
Furthermore, the traffic from Safura is being diverted onto the Jauhar Chowrangi and from Samama the traffic is being directed to NIPA, the traffic police said.
It is important to note that, in order to maintain the flow of traffic and guide travellers, the traffic police are present at the location.
The closure of these roads comes amid development work that is underway for the Karachi Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service which will soon be available for more routes.
However, it is still unclear how long it will take for the development project to be completed or when the road tracks will be open for the commuters.
