The Chalus route (south to north) between Zanguleh Bridge and Siyah Bisheh and the Tehran - North Freeway in the area of Tunnel No. 18 is currently experiencing heavy traffic. Similarly, on the Haraz route (south to north) near the Chalo intersection, a similar traffic situation has been reported.

Smooth Traffic on Other Connecting Routes

In other sections of the Chalus and Haraz routes, as well as on the Firuzkuh route, the old Tehran - Bumehen route, the Tehran - Pardis Freeway, and the Qazvin - Rasht Freeway (both directions), traffic is flowing smoothly. However, on the Qazvin - Karaj - Tehran Freeway, heavy traffic has been reported between Standard and Kolak Bridge, and on the Karaj - Qazvin Freeway from Golshahr to Goldasht.

Roads Closed Due to Safety

According to information from the National Road Management Center, some connecting routes have been closed until further notice due to insufficient safety. These routes include Gilan-e Gharb - Somar in Kermanshah province, Ramian - Takht-e Nalang - Shahroud in Golestan province, Shameshk - Dizin in Alborz province, Shahdad - Nehbandan from kilometer 43.41 to 45.4 in Kerman province, and again Gilan-e Gharb - Somar in Kermanshah province. These closures have been implemented due to adverse weather conditions and road safety to protect travelers' lives.

Given the current road conditions, travelers should exercise caution in planning their trips and use alternative routes. It is also recommended that drivers use necessary equipment and tools to cope with adverse weather conditions and pay attention to warnings from the traffic police and the National Road Management Center.
