BEKASI - Road users are asked to be aware of the potential for traffic jams over the next week due to the impact of road repair work at three points of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road.

"There has been no closure due to this work. Both directions of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road are operating normally," said Operation and Maintenance Senior Manager Representative Office 1 of PT Jasamarga Transjawa Toll Nouval M. Rizky in Bekasi as reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 22.

He appealed to road users to anticipate the trip. On the other hand, his party has prepared risk mitigation to avoid traffic congestion, namely the preparation of counter-trafficking schemes.

"We will apply Contraflow if the vehicle traffic conditions experience congestion," he said.

His party has also prepared a traffic flow diversion scheme that is affected before the work area, narrows the work area, and carries out intensive coordination with road patrols and operators.

Jasa Marga socializes 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.

"Jasa Marga apologizes for the inconvenience caused by the said work," he said.

Nouval explained that the rigid pavement reconstruction work is scheduled to start this Friday night at 22.00 WIB until Sunday (24/7) at 24.00 WIB at the Kilometer (KM) 11+235 to KM 11+150 point on the 1-way Jakarta lane with a handling length of 65 meters.

Then at KM 38+646 to KM 39+086 lane 1 in the direction of Cikampek with a handling length of 233 meters which will be held Saturday (23/7) at 09.00 WIB until Friday (29/7) at 10.00 WIB.

And the third point, namely at KM 26+044 to KM 25+778 lane 1, Jakarta with a handling length of 237 meters which will start Monday (25/7) at 10.00 WIB until Sunday (31/7) at 10.00 WIB.

"This road repair work is in order to improve the safety and comfort of road users as well as Jasa Marga's efforts to improve minimum service standards," he said.

Road users are also asked to make sure the vehicle is in top condition, have sufficient electronic money balance, and refuel 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.
