landslide has blocked a major southern road that connects Jakarta and Yogyakarta via Brebes, Central Java.
Banyumas Police Chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Murbani Budi Pitono said on Monday that the police had redirected traffic from Jakarta to two alternative routes: Banyumas-Wangon-Majenang-Bandung-Jakarta or Banyumas-Purbalingga-Pemalang-Jakarta.
Murbani, meanwhile, said vehicles from Yogyakarta could use the Kebumen-Gombong-Buntu-Sampang-Rawalo-Wangon-Majenang-Bandung-Jakarta or Yogyakarta-Kebumen-Gombong-Buntu-Banyumas-Sokaraja-Purbalingga-Pemalang-Jakarta routes.
The landslide occurred on Saturday night in the Ciregol area of Kutamendala village, Brebes, due to heavy rain, covering the road with 1 meter of mud over a distance of 50 meters.
