Tangerang-Merak turnpike repair work to be completed a week before Idul Fitri

The 35-kilometer-long Tangerang-Merak turnpike repair work will be completed seven days before Idul Fitri holidays next month to avoid traffic jam when many motorists return to their hometowns.

Marga Mandala Sakti operational manager Azis Ariwibowo, who is responsible for the repair work, said there would be no more equipments along the turnpike one week before Idul Fitri.

"Even if the repair work fails to meet the deadline, we will stop it," he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com. "We want motorists to enjoy their Idul Fitri homecoming."
