The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) has issued a fresh traffic advisory for motorists using several major motorways, warning drivers about ongoing road repair and maintenance work on important sections of the M-2, M-3 and M-4 routes.
Motorists travelling through the affected areas have been advised to remain cautious, reduce speed where necessary and follow traffic instructions issued by motorway authorities. The repair activities may affect normal traffic flow at some locations.
In a separate update, the NHMP confirmed that the M-1 Motorway between Islamabad and Peshawar has been reopened to traffic in both directions. The reopening provides relief for motorists travelling between the federal capital and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to the traffic advisory issued on Monday, September 28, repair work is currently in progress on the E-35 Burhan-Thakot section. The route is an important connection for traffic travelling towards northern areas, making careful driving particularly important around work zones.
Several points on the M-2 Motorway between Kot Momin and Islamabad are also undergoing repair work. The NHMP has identified a number of locations where motorists may encounter road maintenance activities and possible changes in traffic movement.
The affected M-2 locations include Akhoon di Bandi, Balkasar, Capital Smart City, Neela Dulha and Kallar Kahar. Drivers passing through these areas are advised to remain alert and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
Road repair operations can result in reduced speeds, lane restrictions and temporary changes in traffic patterns. Motorists should therefore avoid sudden lane changes and follow the directions of NHMP personnel deployed along the affected stretches.
The advisory is particularly relevant for people planning long-distance journeys on the M-2 and E-35. Checking traffic updates before departure can help travelers prepare for possible delays and select suitable travel timings.
The NHMP continues to manage traffic and provide assistance to motorists on Pakistan’s major highways and motorways. Drivers are encouraged to cooperate with traffic officials and observe speed limits while passing through construction and maintenance zones.
The reopening of the M-1 between Islamabad and Peshawar means traffic can now move in both directions on the motorway, while repair work remains active on selected sections of other major routes.
For motorists travelling on the M-2, E-35 and other connected routes, the latest NHMP advisory highlights the importance of driving carefully around repair sites. Following official instructions can help reduce the risk of accidents and support smoother traffic movement while maintenance work continues.
Motorists should also keep their travel documents, vehicle safety equipment and emergency contacts readily available during long journeys. Drivers facing unexpected traffic disruptions should avoid stopping unnecessarily on motorway lanes and should use designated areas whenever they need to pull over.
The latest advisory serves as a reminder that motorway conditions can change because of repair work, weather, traffic volume and other operational factors. Travelers are therefore encouraged to stay informed through official NHMP traffic updates before and during their journeys.
