TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The government is continuing the construction of Soekarno-Hatta airport railway track. Due to the construction, Jalan Daan Mogot - a 23-kilometer road at Tanah Tinggi area - will be closed for 20 hours.
Tangerang City Transportation Department prepared several alternative routes in regard to the closure at Jalan Daan Mogot starting on Sunday, August 27. "The road will be closed from Sunday morning at 00:01 to Monday at 00:01," Head of Tangerang Transportation Department Saiful Rohman told Tempo, Wednesday, August 23.
According to Saiful, PT Kereta Api Indonesia will connect the bridge into the airport railway line. The construction of the bridge is estimated to take more than 20 hours. "They'll put a connector right on Jalan Daan Mogot."
Tangerang transportation department has prepared an alternative route. According to Saiful, small vehicles such as private cars and motorcycles are directed to cross Jalan Lio Baru located beside Jalan Daan Mogot, either from Tangerang to Jakarta and vice versa.
Meanwhile, the large vehicles such as trucks and buses will be directed to Jalan Maulana Hasanudin-Poris residence, and proceed to Poris Plawad. "The traffic diversion scheme for large vehicles applies to those from Tangerang to Jakarta and Jakarta to Tangerang."
This work, said Saiful, is targeted to be completed on Monday morning.
