Imphal, November 13 2026: RIMS Road from RIMS Junction to Nagamapal Road will remain closed to vehicular traffic from November 16, 2026 until completion of work, the Superintendent of Police, Traffic ControlPolice Wing, Manipur, informed in a traffic advisory issued today.

The closure has been made following a request from the Executive Engineer, Imphal West Division, PWD, Manipur, for taking up laying of SPC (Short Panel Concrete) work on the stretch.

Road users travelling to and from RIMS and adjoining areas have been advised to use alternate routes: RIMS-Sanakeithel-Watham Leirak, which is expected to have comparatively less congestion, Uripok Canteen Road, which is likely to experience congestion, and the western side by-lanes between RIMS-Nagamapal Road junction to Khoyathong.

Residents, shopkeepers, establishments and the public have been requested not to park vehicles along the alternate routes, as roadside parking will obstruct traffic flow and cause congestion.

Traffic congestion is likely in and around the affected areas due to the temporary closure, and diversion of vehicles may be enforced on a need basis depending on the traffic situation.

Road users have been advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternate routes wherever possible.

The public has been requested to cooperate with Traffic Police personnel and follow traffic regulations and directions issued during the period of construction.
