TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta-Cikampek, which serve as the main route for homecoming, started to gain traffic on Sunday, June 18, 2018. The Police even started to apply contra flow system to alleviate traffic congestion.
Customer and Employee Relations Manager of PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk. Faiza Riani, said that the contra-flow system was activated on 7:00 PM starting from kilometer 47 to kilometer 41 of the toll road.
"The contra-flow was intended to reduce traffic in rest area km 42 and narrow lanes at km 46," said Faiza.
Faiza added that heavy traffic can be seen on Jakarta-Cikampek toll road, specifically on Dawuan intersection at kilometer 66, because it is the meeting point between traffic coming from Purbaleunyi and Cikampek.
