The Jakarta Transportation Agency is set to conduct a trial run for the newly built Matraman underpass in East Jakarta on April 10.
“Based on a coordination meeting, it was agreed that the trial run will be carried out on April 10, 2018 at 6 a.m., starting with a ceremony,” the agency’s deputy head, Sigit Widjatmoko, said on Tuesday as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com.
He added that the agency would install concrete barriers on April 9 on Jl. Proklamasi and make adjustments to traffic lights at the Megaria intersection.
The agency is also planning to disseminate information on the trial run by setting up banners and distributing brochures.
The 650-meter underpass was built to tackle severe traffic congestion in the area. It is the first two-pronged underpass in the city.
Initially, the trial run was set for April 3. However, the agency delayed the plan to allow for the ongoing construction of a pumping station at the site.
“It will take five to six days to finish,” Sigit said. (wnd)
