Web desk: Repair and expansion work is underway on the Ravi Bridge section of Motorway M-2, and motorists have been advised to expect slow traffic in the area.
According to a Motorway Police spokesperson, traffic flow may remain temporarily affected due to the ongoing construction activity, but effective arrangements have been made to manage the situation.
The spokesperson said that additional police personnel have been deployed around the bridge to handle the increasing volume of traffic.
Patrolling vehicles are also put on alert to offer direct help in the case of an emergency.
Officers of the Motorway Police have been instructed to patrol the roads and provide support to travellers to make their movement smooth.
Authorities have also chosen to limit heavy transport traffic in the construction area temporarily to ensure the continuous flow of vehicles.
This step, officials said, is aimed at preventing congestion and ensuring that light vehicles can move without major delays.
The purpose of these measures is to minimise inconvenience for travellers and to maintain road safety during the repair work.
The spokesperson emphasised that maintaining traffic discipline is crucial during the construction period.
He urged drivers to remain patient, follow the instructions of on-duty officers, and avoid unnecessary overtaking.
Motorists have been advised to check the latest traffic updates before starting their journey to avoid delays.
The Motorway Police also told citizens that their helpline 130 is accessible 24 hours a day to help them.
This number can also be used by travellers to report emergencies, accidents, or traffic jams to ensure that action is taken immediately.
The officials also added that during the repair and expansion project, the primary concern is safety.
The Motorway Police also has additional personnel, round-the-clock surveillance, and collaboration with the people to ensure that the M-2 experience is safe, orderly, and effective, despite the temporary reduction in speed due to construction work.
