JAKARTA - The third lane addition project on the KM 87 to KM 110 Cikopo-Palimanan (Astra Tol Cipali) section, Subang Regency, West Java, is scheduled to be completed as scheduled, namely in December 2024.

Astra Toll Operations Director Cipali Rinaldi in his statement in Cirebon, Saturday, October 19, said the project, which started in July 2024, aims to improve the quality and capacity of the toll road.

As for the 19th week, he said, the addition of the third lane on the Cipali Toll Road managed to exceed the target with a realization of 52 percent in the KM 87-KM 98 zone and 46 percent in the KM 98-KM 110 zone.

The progress of adding this third lane continues to exceed the planning target. This is concrete evidence of improving our services to road users. We hope that the process of adding the third lane of the Cipali Toll Road can run smoothly so that it is completed according to plan in December 2024," he said.

Rinaldi said this project is a continuation of the addition of the third lane at KM 72 to KM 87, as well as in front of Rest Area KM 101-KM 102 and KM 130 whose work stage has been completed in 2023.

In the project, his party has completed the demolition and clearing stages, with land and construction dismantling work carried out in stages until the end of the lane addition period.

He ensured that security and safety were top priorities, with the holding of daily meetings (Toolbox meetings) to control potential hazards and prevention education.

In addition, continued Rinaldi, routine checks are also carried out on heavy equipment used to ensure smooth work. "Every week, routine inspections are also carried out to ensure the quality of work according to standards," he said.

As part of improving road quality, the Cipali Toll Road manager also rejuvenates the first and second lanes along KM 87-KM 110.

Rinaldi revealed that in order to speed up this process, the temporary closure of the shoulder of the road, the first lane and the second lane were carried out alternately.

The Cipali Toll Road Manager appealed to road users to always be vigilant, maintain a safe distance between vehicles, and reduce speed when crossing the project area.

If you feel tired, Rinaldi suggested that users can take advantage of the seven rest areas available on the Cipali Toll Road or exit through the nearest toll gate.

"For emergency assistance, users can contact the Traffic Monitoring Center (TMC) which is ready to serve 24 hours through the number 021-7600-600 or 081-234-7600," he said.
