Rawalpindi Traffic Police have chalked out a diversion plan to maintain traffic on alternative routes during the Test match between Pakistan and England at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium here.

The Stadium Road will be completely closed to general traffic from 9th Avenue Chowk to Double Road on both sides during the match.

Both the teams will start practice sessions from November 28, a day after the English cricket team’s arrival in Islamabad. The Test match will be played from Dec 1 to 5.

Meanwhile, traffic coming from Islamabad 9th Avenue will be able to enter Rawalpindi through Islamabad Expressway at Faizabad and IJP Road through Pindora Chungi, Katarian, Carriage Factory, Pirwadhai Mor, while the traffic going from Rawalpindi to Double Road and 9th Avenue in Islamabad will enter Rawalpindi through Murree Road at Faizabad.
