Good news for commuters in Islamabad: all roads are back to normal after days of disruptions. Containers and barriers that blocked key routes during recent protests have been cleared, and traffic is moving smoothly again. If you’ve been stuck in jams or rerouting around the capital, you can breathe easier now. Here’s what you need to know about the restored routes and what it means for your daily drive.
All 43 Roads Open, Including Key Spots
Islamabad Police confirm that all 43 city roads are fully accessible as of October 15, 2025. Major connections like the Faizabad Flyover and Expressway are clear, so you won’t face delays at these busy spots. Motorways M-1 and M-2 are also open for all vehicles, making travel to and from the capital hassle-free again. Whether you’re heading to work, school, or out of town, expect smoother rides.
Why This Matters
The road closures caused major headaches, with congestion clogging up daily routines. Now, with barriers gone, you can plan your trips without detours. Delivery drivers, taxi services, and commuters on routes like Srinagar Highway or Murree Road will notice the difference. Businesses relying on quick transport to places like Rawalpindi or beyond via M-1 and M-2 should also see fewer delays.
What’s Being Done to Keep It Smooth
Authorities are keeping a close eye on traffic flow to prevent new bottlenecks. Police are monitoring key areas to ensure things stay calm and open. This means you’re less likely to hit unexpected roadblocks in the coming days, but it’s still wise to check updates before heading out, especially on busy routes.
Tips for Commuters
Check Live Updates: Apps like Google Maps or local news can flag any sudden changes.
Plan Peak Hours: With roads open, rush hours might still be crowded, so time your trips if possible.
Stay Informed: Follow Islamabad Police on X for real-time traffic alerts.
