Karachi traffic police announce road closures
KARACHI: Karachi traffic police have announced road closures and alternative routes for Saturday, November 14, due to development work under the K-IV water supply project.
As per reports, Karachi traffic police said the main University Road section from Hassan Square to NIPA will remain closed as work is scheduled to be carried out beneath the Hassan Square Bridge.
A 72-inch-diameter water pipeline will be laid across University Road towards Essa Nagri, prompting authorities to divert traffic to alternative routes.
Alternative Routes for Commuters
However, officials said traffic from New Town towards Hassan Square will be diverted to Double Road, while vehicles from Machli Cut will be directed towards NIPA.
Moreover, heavy vehicles approaching from Stadium Bridge and Light Signal will be diverted towards Dalmia. Large buses will also be routed through Dalmia.
Water tankers and other heavy traffic will not be allowed to enter Hassan Square during the work.
Meanwhile, the ramp descending from Hassan Square Bridge towards University Road will also remain closed. Traffic using the ramp will instead be directed straight towards Liaquatabad.
Therefore, the traffic police have advised commuters to use the designated alternative routes to avoid inconvenience during the development work.
