SOLO - The Solo-Purwodadi Line through the Joglo intersection is closed following the development of the flyover construction which is a program from the Ministry of Transportation.

Head of the Surakarta City Transportation Service, Taufiq Muhammad, said road closures were carried out from tonight until June 15.

Regarding the closure, his party cooperated with the Department of Transportation, the Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), and the Karanganyar Regency Traffic Unit.

Taufiq said that traffic diversion engineering has also been prepared so that motorcyclists can continue to go to Solo and vice versa.

For the diversion of the flow to be carried out from the north, namely Purwodadi and Sragen to Solo, motorists can make a left turn to Jalan Kerinci-Jalan Bromo Raya-Jalan Jaya Wijaya-Jalan Gunung Slamet.

Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, motorists can pass through the Bonoloyo Tomb intersection-Bromo Raya Road-Kerinci Street- Solo Road-Purwodadi.

Furthermore, heavy vehicles are required to enter the toll road because these alternative roads cannot be passed by large-bodied vehicles.

Meanwhile, Site Manager of PT WIKA-BKY KSO Dendy Purbowo said the Solo-Purwodadi road closure was a continuation of the third phase of the project.

He said that currently the flyover construction project has reached stage 3.2, namely the installation of a steel frame for the northern flyover bridge.

"Phase 3.2 is in the north, on this Solo-Purwodadi road which we will start now. Then we will close the last 3.3 in June," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 4.

One of the Marlena road users hopes that the project will be completed soon so that long-term congestion does not occur. With this closure, this Unisri student from Purwodadi will pass through alternative roads.

"Yes, it was a bit disturbed because the road became jammed and also the estimated trip was slower. Hopefully the project can be completed soon," he said.
