The Shah Nahar Barrage road in Jalandhar has been closed for the day as authorities continue gate repair work on the barrage.
The Shah Nahar Barrage road in Jalandhar has been officially shut for the entire day while maintenance crews carry out repair work on the barrage gates. The closure was announced by the Punjab Public Works Department, which said the work is essential to ensure the safe operation of the waterway.
Traffic authorities have warned commuters that the blockage will affect vehicles traveling between the city centre and the surrounding villages that rely on this route. Drivers are being directed to use alternative corridors such as the Jalandhar‑Phagwara highway and the Gurdaspur road to avoid congestion.
The gate repair is part of a scheduled maintenance program aimed at preventing water leakage and structural wear at the Shah Nahar Barrage. Officials expect the work to be completed by the end of the day, after which the road will be reopened to normal traffic.
Motorists are advised to stay updated through local news bulletins and to follow the instructions of traffic police stationed at the diversion points.
