JAKARTA - The Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya has implemented traffic engineering ahead of the 77th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia. A number of roads in the State Palace area will be temporarily closed.

"(The area, red) Our Horse Statue will be closed, Harmoni is closing, Gambir will also be closed," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Latif Usman to reporters, Tuesday, August 16.

The closure of a number of these roads is to ensure that the state palace area is sterile from traffic. So, the ceremony process will take place full of wisdom.

Then, the sterilization process will begin to be carried out since tonight, precisely at 21.00 WIB.

"So the palace environment is completely sterile from traffic," he said.

Then, in the traffic engineering process, at least 500 personnel will be deployed. They will divert vehicles leading to the palace to use another route.

"After the implementation of the ceremony until the closing of the flag until the end. Until the afternoon," said Latif.
