Traffic curbs on Chandigarh roads for Air Force marathon on 4 October
Chandigarh Traffic Police has announced traffic restrictions and diversions on several key road stretches on Sunday, 4 October, for the Sekhon Indian Air Force Marathon Chandigarh 2026. The restrictions will be in force from 4.30am to 11am.
The marathon route starts from the road in front of Chandigarh Club and passes through Sector 2/3 Small Chowk, Old Barricade Chowk, Sukhna Lake turn, Matka Chowk, Transport Chowk, SBI Small Chowk and PGI before returning to Chandigarh Club. Traffic personnel will be deployed along the route to manage movement and facilitate diversions.
Commuters have been advised to avoid the affected routes, use alternate roads, and plan their travel in advance. Motorists can track real-time updates on Chandigarh Traffic Police's social media handles on X, Instagram and Facebook.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Residents and commuters in Chandigarh will face six and a half hours of road closures across a loop covering the club, Sukhna Lake and PGI, affecting Sunday morning travel for many. The police have not announced any exceptions for emergency vehicles or hospital access near PGI, leaving that detail unresolved. The next step for the public is to check live traffic updates on social media before leaving home.
