Jasa Marga Again Repairs The Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road

BEKASI - PT Jasa Marga (Persero) is again repairing the two-way Jakarta-Cikampek toll road starting early next week, using the rigid pavement reconstruction technique after completing similar work this weekend.

"This work is scheduled from Monday to Sunday next week, at two points on both directions of the road, both Cikampek and Jakarta," said General Manager Representative Office 1 JTTRD Muhammad Taufik Akbar in Bekasi, West Java, reported by Antara, Saturday, April 2.

He explained that work at the first point will start Monday (4/4) at 10.00 WIB until Thursday (7/4) at 09.00 WIB at Kilometer (KM) 36+719 to KM 36+874 lane 2 lanes towards Cikampek with a handling length of 118 meters.

Meanwhile, the second point of work is at KM 25+703 to KM 25+037 lane 1 lane towards Jakarta with a handling length of 208 meters which will be carried out starting Monday (4/4) at 10.00 WIB until Sunday (10/4) at 04.00 WIB.

"There are no closures due to this work. The Jakarta-Cikampek toll road sections heading to Jakarta and to Cikampek are still operating normally," he said.

Taufik said the road repair work is in order to improve the safety and comfort of road users as well as Jasa Marga's efforts to improve the minimum service standard (SPM).

Jasa Marga has prepared risk mitigation including diverting the traffic flow that is affected before the work area, narrowing the work area, preparing counterclockwise if the vehicle traffic conditions are heavy, as well as coordinating with the police.

Jasa Marga has also disseminated the work plan by installing outdoor media in the form of job warning banners and Variable Message Signs in both directions of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to ensure this information is well received by road users.

He apologized for the inconvenience caused by the work in question, while also urging all road users to anticipate the trip by ensuring the vehicle is in top condition, has sufficient electronic money balance, and refuels before starting the trip.

"Always obey health protocols and travel requirements according to government regulations and be careful and obey signs, especially around work locations," he said.
