ianjur Police in West Java closed the Puncak – Cipanas lane and diverted traffic to alleviate congestion in the area as people make their way back after Idul Fitri on Monday afternoon.
The congestion was seen along Jl. Dr Muwardi, Cianjur to Cipanas.
Cianjur Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Soliyah said congestion had occurred as vehicles started flowing back to the area as the long holiday was nearing its end.
The area had become congested with the high number of visitors in the area, he said.
Police said vehicles heading from Bandung – Cianjur to Bogor had been redirected to Jonggol or Sukabumi.
“We are still coordinating to see whether the Puncak lane can be reopened. We have redirected vehicles heading to Cipanas,” Soliyah said on Monday as quoted by tempo.co. (cal)
