JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works (PU) checks the readiness of toll roads for the 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year holidays.

"Alhamdulillah, today we are checking the preparations for Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 and here I see the readiness of Jasa Marga which was explained earlier, Alhamdulillah, I hope it is very proper, meaning that it is ready and hopefully what was predicted for vehicle density from last year that I got from Jasa Marga, hopefully it will be well predicted," said Deputy Minister of Public Works Diana Kususmastuti quoting Antara.

According to Diana, all parties, from the Ministry of Public Works, Jasa Marga and other Toll Road Business Entities to the police and the Ministry of Transportation, must collaborate with each other to support the smooth flow of traffic during the Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 periods.

"Earlier, it was stated that on the 21st (December) there was a possibility that there would be a vehicle density until the 4th (January), the peaks were like that. Hopefully, it can be anticipated where the points are congested," he said.

He also conveyed that the distance between the Christmas and New Year holidays this year and the 2025 Eid holiday is not long.

"If we look at the distance between Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 and Eid al-Fitr in 2025, it will not be long, so what we have fixed for Christmas and New Year this year can still be used later in 2025 before Eid," said Diana.

Deputy Minister of Public Works Diana Kususmastuti conducted a review of the Trans Java Toll Road in preparation for Christmas and New Year for this year, one of which was by visiting the Jasamarga Tollroad Command Center.

On this occasion, Operation and Maintenance Management Group Head of PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk Atika Dara Prahita said that Jasa Marga predicts that the peak of the 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year homecoming flows will occur on Saturday, December 21, 2024.
