TULUNGAGUNG - The government of Tulungagug Regency, East Java, abolished the tradition of fireworks display and closed two locations that became the center of crowds on New Year's Eve 2022 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
"We have closed the Lembupeteng Sports Center and the city square park. Access to these two locations is restricted to prevent crowds from gathering," said Head of the Tulungagung Regency Transportation Service, Galih Nusantoro in Tulungagung, Antara, Wednesday, December 29.
To limit access to the square, the Transportation Agency will cooperate with the Tulungagung Police Traffic Unit by engineering traffic flow. Including guarding and controlling to anticipate convoys of vehicles and crowds.
"For the highway, we will engineer it by placing a barrier in the middle so that the density of traffic flow in the city center and several toll roads that have the potential to cause congestion can be minimized," he said.
Not only limited, access to the garden square which is the heart of Tulungagung will be completely closed. "We can also close at the peak," he said.
Tulungagung Police Traffic Head AKP Muhammad Bayu Agustyan said his party was focusing on efforts to reduce the number of vehicles entering the downtown area of Tulungagung.
"We will do traffic engineering for vehicles from Trenggalek to Kediri that pass through Tulungagung, and vice versa," he said.
Vehicles from Trenggalek to Kediri will be diverted from the Jeta'an T-junction in Kauman District. Vehicles will be directed north to Karangrejo intersection. At this intersection, the riders are divided into two through the Jeli Bridge or east via the Karangrejo Bridge to the Ngujang T-junction and then heading north.
On the other hand, from Kediri to Trenggalek, it starts to be diverted from the Ngujang T-junction towards the west to the Karangrejo Crossroad. Then the vehicle is directed to the south until the Jeta'an T-junction towards Trenggalek.
