Jasa Marga Projects The Peak Of Backflow To Occur Today

JAKARTA - PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk predicts that the peak of the return flow of Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijri or Lebaran 2024 will occur today, Monday, April 15, so that the number of vehicles via the Kalikangkung Toll Gate to the Cikampek Utama (Cikatama) Toll Road will increase.

"Currently, there is an increase in the number of vehicles from Trans Java to Jakarta, but it will increase much more on Monday," said Jasa Marga Marketing and Communication Department Head Faiza Riani in Cikampek, Sunday, April 14 evening.

He said the volume of vehicle traffic per hour from 06.00 WIB to 21.00 WIB from the east of Trans Java and Bandung at GT Cikampek Utama and GT Kalihurip Utama reached 102.000 vehicles, an increase of 168% from normal traffic volume.

He said the congestion of vehicles occurred because of the large number of residents driving from Central Java to Jakarta. "This happened not because of the implementation of one way, but because there was a meeting of two road currents from the Trans Java Toll Road with the Cipularang Toll Road at km 67 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road," he said.

He appealed to people who have time to postpone their return time to Jakarta so that there is no buildup. Jasa Marga provides a discount on toll rates that return to Jabodetabek on Tuesday 16 April and Wednesday 17 April of 20%.
