ass Rapid Transit (MRT) operator PT MRT Jakarta is closing a section of Jl. Fatmawati in South Jakarta from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. as the company installs box girders for the construction of an elevated lane.
MRT Jakarta corporate secretary Tubagus Hikmatullah said in a press release on Saturday that the street needed to be closed, as many trucks would enter and leave the construction area.
'We call on commuters who pass Jl. Fatmawati to be careful and follow directions from our officials for alternative routes,' he said.
Tubagus said 16 box girders would be installed on a section of Jl. Fatmawati, most of them in front of Jl. Madrasah.
Tubagus explained that the company would also put in place two launching gantry devices to install the box girders.
The first phase of the MRT project will see seven elevated stations built between Lebak Bulus and Sisingamangaraja, both in South Jakarta, and six underground stations from Sisingamangaraja to the Hotel Indonesia Traffic Circle in Central Jakarta.
