As I drove across the Main Boulevard this afternoon, a DJ on FM 103 was reading out an announcement by the Lahore Traffic Police regarding closing of Old Ravi Bridge. It goes like this:

It is to inform that Old Ravi Bridge has been closed for maintenance work and diversions have been placed to direct the traffic. Travellers driving out of Lahore are requested to use Sagian Bridge or the New Ravi Bridge that remain open as normal. Traffic entering Lahore, however, can use the Old Ravi Bridge too. The closed bridge will be re-opened by mid-night.

Thought, it might be of help to commuters leaving Lahore…
