Beware of Traffic Jams, Jasa Marga Closes Lane 1 and Shoulder of MBZ Elevated Toll Road

JAKARTA - For drivers who often pass through the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed (MBZ) Elevated Toll Road, they must arrange their travel time so as not to get stuck in traffic jams.

This is because PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek (JJC) as the manager of the MBZ Elevated Road is carrying out slope strengthening work at KM 48 Cikampek Direction of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road in order to improve travel safety for toll road users.

"This work will temporarily close lane 1 and the outer shoulder at KM 48+225 to KM 48+500 Cikampek Direction of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road," said GM of Operations and Maintenance of PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek Desti Anggraeni in a written statement, quoted on Thursday, November 7.

"Starting on Thursday, November 6 to Friday, November 7 at 08.00 a.m. to 17.00 p.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB)," he continued.

In order to maintain safety for toll road users and slope reinforcement workers, PT JJC together with Mobile Customer Service (MCS) officers have prepared work safety signs according to standards.

Such as providing rubber cones, hose lights/work location markers at night, alerting traffic control officers, and ensuring smooth traffic around the work location.

"We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the work and urge road users to remain careful and maintain a safe distance when driving. Obey traffic signs and directions from officers in the field and ensure that vehicles are roadworthy," he concluded.
