PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol extends contraflow or traffic engineering from kilometer 62 to kilometer 47 towards Jakarta toll road Jakarta-Cikampek to avoid congestion due to the volume of return flow vehicles in 2023.

As reported by Antara, PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol officers in Purwakarta, Sunday said that previously the implementation of traffic engineering had been implemented from kilometer 57 to kilometer 47 of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road.

However, due to police discretion, PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol extended the contraflow one lane from kilometer 62 (East Karawang) to kilometer 47 (Dawuan).

The implementation of the traffic engineering policy is aimed at anticipating an increase in the volume of traffic that occurs on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road. Regarding vehicles passing on the Cikampek Toll Road towards Jakarta, they are not only crowded with private vehicles but also buses and trucks from various regions.

PT Jasa Marga also urges road users to anticipate travel, ensure that the vehicle is in prime condition. This includes ensuring the amount of electronic money balance, refueling before starting the trip and carrying supplies to avoid crowds or congestion in the rest area.
