Pascalongsor, The Traffic Flow Of The Bocimi Toll Road In Sukabumi Was Diverted To The Cigombong Gate

JAKARTA - The traffic flow passing through the Bogor-Ciawi-Sukabumi (Bocimi) Toll Road towards Sukabumi, West Java from Jakarta was diverted to the Cigombong Toll Gate (GT) due to repairs in section 2 at KM 64+600 A of the toll road.

Quoting Antara, monitoring at the Cigombong GT Exit, Saturday, April 6, was seen by a number of police personnel on guard in the area where the traffic was diverted.

A number of vehicles using the Bocimi Toll Road were seen heading towards GT Cigombong following directions for diversion signs installed at the location.

Section 2 of the Bocimi Toll Road at KM 64+600 A itself is being repaired after the landslide that occurred due to high rainfall.

Due to ongoing repairs, the Bocimi Toll Road section 2 KM 64+600 A towards Sukabumi or vice versa cannot be crossed by vehicles.

A number of heavy equipment vehicles were deployed and were seen making repairs to one of the Bocimi Toll Roads leading to the Sukabumi area from Puncak and Jakarta.

Heavy vehicles such as the bulldozer carry out land dredging activities around the area in their efforts to repair the toll road.

Several repair officers also appeared to be active and passing by making repairs on the Bocimi Toll Road.

Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono revealed that landslides on the Bogor-Ciawi-Sukabumi (Bocimi) Toll Road were caused by high rainfall.

Basuki Hadimuljono said the incident was suspected not because of the ground movement, but purely because of landslides caused by high rainfall. For this reason, handling will be sought in the next three days.

"On Monday, April 8, 2024, the day after tomorrow, we monitor and test first so that the route B can be used as a class 1 vehicle homecoming route, so it is hoped that it can slightly break the flow of homecoming to Cigombong. We will coordinate with the Police to open one direction from Jakarta to Sukabumi. For the backflow, it will also be one direction from Sukabumi to Jakarta. It will be sought to open Monday or Tuesday. After that it will be handled permanently after Eid, approximately 2-3 months of handling, "said Basuki.
