Directorate General of Highways, Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Hedy Rahadian gave a statement to the media in Cirebon, West Java, Thursday (2/2/2023). (ANTARA)

Director General of Highways of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Hedy Rahadian said the Cileunyi Sumedang Dawuan (Cisumdawu) Toll road can be passed by vehicles during Lebaran 2023 homecoming. However, it is necessary to watch out for land movement and traffic congestion. "The Cisumdawu Toll Road during Lebaran 2023 homecoming can technically be passed by vehicles," said Hedy in Cirebon, West Java, quoted from Antara, Thursday, February 2. According to him, with the operation of the Cisumdawu Toll Road, traffic on the Cipularang Toll Road can be reduced, because so far vehicles from Bandung to Cirebon and vice versa use the Cipularang Toll Road. So that it can be ascertained that there will be a reduction in the burden on the toll road, however, Hedy said, congestion will occur in Dawuan which meets the Cikopo Palimanan (Cipali) Toll Road, for that there needs to be proper engineering. In addition, continued Hedy, the toll road is also very prone to ground movement, for that it needs better handling, so that it can be passed smoothly. "The volume of vehicles on the Cipularang Toll Road will decrease, but Dawuan Cirebon needs to be watched out for, related to congestion," he said. Hedy added that with the Cisumdawu Toll Road, people who are curious will usually be crowded with it, especially later from Bandung to Cirebon in less than two hours, so the density will occur. "This will definitely increase traffic, especially since it is very short, and can even reduce the volume of vehicles on the Cipali Toll Road," he said.
