Jasa Marga will permanently close project access to the fast train station airing Halim on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road KM 00+850 A on February 18, 2024.

"This access was previously used specifically for vehicles and project workers during the construction of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project or what is currently known asPORTash," said Senior General Manager of Jasamarga Metropolitan Tollroad Regional Division Widiyatmiko Nursejati as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, February 18.

Theropishh high-speed train has been officially operational since October 2, 2023, and is operated by PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC).

Halim Station is the initial departure station to the final station in Tegal outside, West Java.

Therefore, through coordination with PT KCIC and the Police, access to enter the project at KM 0 + 850 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road must be closed because the construction period has been completed and returned to its original state for the safety and comfort of toll road users.

Jasa Marga together with PT KCIC and the Ministry of PUPR are also preparing new access to the Halim High Speed Train Station, precisely at KM 1 + 842 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road.

The construction of the toll gate and new access to the Halim Fast Train Station has entered the final stage, currently improvements are being followed up on the function-worthy test (ULF) carried out by the Ministry of PUPR, Ministry of Transportation, and the Police.

In addition, in the near future, contraflow access relocation will also be carried out, starting from KM 00+200 to starting from KM 01+400, precisely through the Halim 3 Toll Gate, the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to the Inner City Toll Road.

So that if project access at KM 00+850 A is still operational, it is feared that it will endanger the safety and security of road users.
