Firdaus said that his party predicts that the increase in the flow of homecoming on the Cipali Toll Road will increase by 4.1 percent or as many as 121 thousand vehicles will pass on the D-3 homecoming flow.

Meanwhile, the prediction of backflow of 139 thousand vehicles will pass on D+3 after Eid.

Astra Tol Cipali has also completed the third lane widening work in front of the KM 86, 102 and 130 rest areas on April 13, 2023.

"We hope that the widening of the third lane on a priority scale in front of the rest area can unravel the density that occurs. Meanwhile, the widening of the meeting between Jasa Marga and Astra Tol Cipali will begin again after Eid," said Firdaus.
