JAKARTA - The rain that flushed the Jabodetabek area caused a number of sections on the Jakarta-Cikampek (Japek) Toll Road to experience waterlogging.

PT. Jasa Marga, in its Twitter account which was monitored by Antara, on Saturday morning, said that the puddle had resulted in heavy traffic.

Areas that experience traffic congestion are East Cikarang KM 36 - Cibatu KM 35 as a result of waterlogging after a few hours of rain.

Meanwhile, the vehicles on the Jakarta Outer Ring Road Toll Road, to be precise Jatiasih (Bekasi) KM 44-KM + 700 towards Cikunir are also congested because there is a pool of water as high as 30 cm.

Jasa Marga officers ask the road users to be careful because the access to the Jatibening GT/PGT towards Cawang is waterlogged and only large vehicles can pass.

Likewise on the Jakarta-Tangerang toll road, where there was waterlogged so that the traffic flow of vehicles in Karawaci KM 21-Bitung KM 24 was congested.

In Bitung KM 24 in the direction of Tomang, traffic is also congested due to the impact of waterlogging.
