JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will impose road closures along Jalan Jenderal Sudirman to MH Thamrin during the New Year's Eve celebration. The closure is carried out in conjunction with the New Year's activities which are centered at a number of points, with the Bundaran Hotel Indonesia (HI) as the main location.
DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung encourages people who want to celebrate New Year's Eve at Bundaran HI and other points to use public transportation. This policy is taken to avoid traffic congestion and the accumulation of private vehicles in the city center area.
"We will implement public transportation to operate until 2 a.m. Then all normal transportation activities are normal until 2 a.m.," said Pramono in South Kembangan, West Jakarta, Tuesday, December 30.
In addition to closing the road, the DKI Provincial Government also does not provide parking bags near HI Roundabout. This step is intended to limit the movement of private vehicles to the celebration location.
With this condition, public transportation is considered the most feasible option for the community.
"So we advise people who will be present at Bundaran HI, Old City, at Banteng Square, at Fx, because our public transportation is very good, we advise you to take public transportation," said Pramono.
Traffic arrangements will begin to be enforced from 18.00 WIB. At that time, private vehicles are no longer allowed to pass through the sections of the protocol roads that are the location of the New Year's Eve activities.
"Everyone is expected to use public transportation," he added.
However, the DKI Provincial Government is still preparing a number of parking locations for the public who want to celebrate New Year's Eve 2026 along Jalan Jenderal Sudirman-MH Thamrin, with the celebration center in the HI roundabout area.
"For some parking lots, we have consolidated it with the building manager," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Service Syafrin Liputo to reporters, Sunday, December 28.
At HI Roundabout, the public can park their personal vehicles in the parking area of office buildings and shopping centers such as Wisma Nusantara, Plaza Indonesia, Grand Indonesia, to the UOB building.
Meanwhile, to the north of HI roundabout, parking points are provided in the IRTI area of the National Monument (Monas) and buildings along Jalan MH Thamrin,
"So on and so forth to the south, up to FX and the Gelora Bung Karno area," said Syafrin.
In addition, DKI Dishub will also make adjustments to public transportation services, especially Transjakarta, because a number of points are the location of New Year's Eve activities. Where, there will be stage placement along Sudirman-Thamrin.
"In its implementation, there will be 31 Transjakarta routes that will later be adjusted, because at some points, for example at the Banteng Square, there are also stage activities there, then along Sudirman-Thamrin," explained Syafrin.
