The Murree Expressway (N-75) has been temporarily closed to general traffic following heavy snowfall in the region. Authorities, including the National Highways and Motorway Police, have restricted access at the Phoolgaran Toll Plaza to ensure safety, allowing only local residents and emergency services to pass. “Snowfall has made roads slippery and visibility low, increasing the risk of accidents,” an official said. Winter conditions have intensified in Murree and surrounding hilly areas, with forecasts predicting continued snowfall over the coming days. Travelers are strongly advised to keep their vehicles winter-ready and postpone non-essential journeys until the roads are clear. The closure highlights the challenges faced during seasonal snow in the region, where sudden weather changes can lead to intermittent road blockages and travel disruptions, particularly during peak hours and at night. Officials continue to monitor the situation closely and manage road safety. Murree is known for its heavy winter snowfall, attracting tourists each season. However, intense snow often disrupts traffic and daily life, prompting authorities to issue alerts and restrict movement to prevent accidents. Previous winters have seen similar temporary closures on key hilly routes, emphasizing the importance of following official instructions during extreme weather. Authorities have reminded travelers to: Equip vehicles with snow chains or winter tires. Carry essential supplies if travel is unavoidable. Stay updated on road conditions via official alerts. This precautionary closure ensures both the safety of travelers and the smooth management of emergency services in the region.
