PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek (JJC) as the manager of Jalan Layang Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ) ensures that the infrastructure security of Jalan Layang MBZ is safe for road users to pass.

President Director of PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek Hendri Taufik emphasized that every toll road that operates has gone through the final series of assessments before it can be operated, namely a function-worthy and operational-worthy test by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), the Ministry of Transportation and Korlantas POLRI as well as the Bridge and Road Tunnel Safety Commission (KKJTJ).

He also explained that this activity was carried out to ensure that all technical specifications for the requirements and road equipment on toll roads in accordance with traffic management and safety standards were met properly.

"Like other toll roads that have been operating in Indonesia, the MBZ Flyover has met the requirements for technical, administrative and toll operating procedures, so that they can be operated. The Functional Feasibility and Operational Feasibility Test Stage is carried out by an authorized agency which will then determine the toll tariff through the Decree of the Minister of PUPR in accordance with applicable regulations," said Hendri in a statement received by VOI, Saturday, May 18.

Hendri also added that at the time of construction, implementing contractors and supervisory consultants had conducted tests on test objects and were declared to meet the minimum quality as the design consultant had planned.

"During the operation period, more than four years, of course the current concrete condition has undergone changes in nature, both due to temperature, weather, and vehicle load," he added.

To maintain the safety and quality of toll roads, a periodic inspection of the fulfillment of Minimum Service Standards (SPM) includes toll road conditions, average travel speed, accessibility, mobility, safety to rescue/saving units and service assistance. This must be done by all Toll Road Business Entities, including PT JJC in order to improve services to road users.

PT JJC appealed to all road users to anticipate travel, ensure that vehicles are in prime condition, have sufficient electronic money balance, refuel before starting the trip. Always be careful and obey signs, especially around the location of the work.
