Punjab capital Lahore, home to around 15 million people, is set to welcome Pakistan Super League 2025, with cricket fever returns to the , metropolis.
The government of Punjab unveiled special traffic and school management plan to ensure minimal disruption during the high-profile tournament.
Lahore will host series of evening matches, all scheduled to start at 7:00pm at Gaddafi Stadium. Given the potential overlap with regular city traffic, authorities have taken steps to manage the flow of vehicles and avoid congestion on major roads.
Major road including Mall Road, Jail Road, Canal Road, Main Boulevard, and Gulberg Road will remain open to the public during match days.
Only short-term road closures will be put in place when teams travel to and from the stadium, and these will be timed strategically to avoid peak hours.
In a related move, the provincial government has also revised school timings for institutions located near the stadium. From April 24 to May 18, schools in the vicinity will operate from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
The decision was made following a joint review by city planners, law enforcement, and education departments to ease pressure on matchday traffic.
