SEMARANG - The backflow of Lebaran 2022 homecoming from the Kalikangkung toll road in Semarang, Central Java to Cikampek through Jakarta was still observed to be congested on Monday 9 May afternoon.

Vehicles with police numbers outside Central Java heading towards Jakarta still dominate the vehicles entering the Kalikangkung Toll Road.

From data on the Lebaran Security Post at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate compiled by Antara from 00.00 to 10.00 WIB, it was recorded that 12,868 vehicles were passing to the west.

Even in the period from 08.00 to 10.00 WIB, there were 5,099 passing vehicles.

Head of the Eid 2022 Security Post at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate Semarang, Ipda Riyadi, said that since 02.00 WIB the one-way system of vehicles from Kalikangkung to Jakarta had been stopped.

Even though it has been opened in two directions, he said, the flow of vehicles heading west still dominates at the Kalikangkung toll gate.

Since the closure of the "one way" until 10:00 WIB, there were 5,211 vehicles that passed out of Kalikangkung to Semarang.

"For homecoming vehicles that pass are still relatively many, but not as crowded as before," he said.

It is estimated that the flow of vehicles heading to Jakarta in the week after Lebaran will still be dense.
