Authorities took the step on January 22, 2026, to stop vehicles from entering the expressway (N-75) from the Tal Plaza (also known as Phulgran Toll Plaza) side toward Murree. The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) made the announcement, stressing that the closure applies to general traffic to avoid accidents on slippery and snow-covered sections.
Murree Expressway (N-75) remains closed for incoming traffic from Phulgran Toll Plaza due to heavy snowfall. Local residents and emergency vehicles can still use the route.
The decision came after thick snow blanketed parts of the road, creating dangerous driving conditions. NHMP teams are on the ground to manage the situation and help with any issues. Snow removal work is underway, but no exact time for reopening has been given yet.
Travelers planning trips to Murree should hold off on non-essential journeys until the weather clears and officials lift the restrictions. The hill station often sees crowds during winter snowfall, but safety comes first in such conditions.
