SEMARANG - The flow of vehicles from the west or Jakarta entering Central Java through the Kalikangkung Semarang toll gate, Thursday, April 20, began to decrease after the density that occurred the night before. Head of the Kalikangkung Gate Security Post, Iptu Rudyanto, said that the implementation of the one-way route from Jakarta to Kalikangkung was still in effect. "However, for the local 'one way' after Kalikangkung until the exit of Bawen has been stopped since morning," he said. The flow of vehicles from the west entering Kalikangkung between 04.00 to 06.00 WIB had decreased in the number of around 3,500 vehicles. The number of vehicles had increased again to around 5.500 between 06.00 to 08.00 WIB. "From the information there are still about seven thousand vehicles from Jakarta to the east," he said, quoted by Antara.

Meski demikian, lanjut dia, jumlah tersebut akan berkurang seiring dengan banyak kendaraan yang keluar di pintu tol sebelum Kalikangkung.Sebelumnya, kepadatan tinggi terjadi gerbang Tol Kalikangkung Semarang pada Rabu 19 April malam atau H-3 Lebaran.Seluruh gardu tol maupun gardu satelit dibuka maksimal untuk memperlancar arus kendaraan yang masuk ke Semarang itu.Akibatnya, kepolisian menerapkan sistem satu arah mulai tol dalam Kota Semarang hingga pintu keluar Bawen, Kabupaten Semarang.
