JAKARTA - PT Angkasa Pura (AP) II Persero will soon operate the Little Semanggi bridge or East Flyover in the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Soetta) Tangerang, Banten in anticipation of the surge in the 2024 Eid homecoming flow.

Executive General Manager of PT Angkasa Pura II KCU Soetta Airport, Dwi Ananda Wicaksana said that his party is currently accelerating the construction process of the Little Semanggi bridge or East Flyover.

So that the road connecting the South Perimeter with the Northern Permeter can be used during the Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijri homecoming flow.

"Thank God, at the end of this month we are speeding up the completion of accessibility which we call the east flyover," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, March 29.

He said, together with a number of related parties, they had tested the operation of the east flyover last weekend.

This is because the East Soetta Airport East Flyover is planned to operate or be actively opened to the public on Monday (01/04/2024) early next week.

With the operation of the East Flyover, it is considered to be able to unravel the surge in traffic from and to Soetta Airport during the Eid transportation period or from April 3-18, 2024.

Later Angkasa Pura II will coordinate with the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police in the initial implementation of the flyover.

This is done, in order to regulate traffic flow, it can be further decomposed because it has given direction to passing motorists.

"It is hoped that the East Flyover can unravel the congestion of the traffic flow of people who use or pass through the Soekarno-Hatta Airport area," he said.
