        "summary": "A deer was fatally struck by a car on the Serang-Panimbang Toll Road (Tol Serpan) in Lebak Regency, Banten, near the Rangkasbitung toll gate, but the driver emerged unharmed. Officials suspect the deer may have been from a nearby enclosure, as the area is not its natural habitat, and they are addressing frequent animal crossings by installing fences. The incident highlights ongoing efforts to complete Section 2 of the toll road, which was temporarily closed for construction and is set to fully open in the second half of the year, improving travel times to key destinations in Banten during holidays and tourism seasons.",

The animal\u2019s carcass has\nbeen evacuated by officials to ensure smooth traffic flow.<\/p>\n<p>He suspects the deer was likely a pet or from a breeding facility, as\nthe area is not a natural habitat for such wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that animals frequently cross the Tol Serpan, including\nmonitor lizards, wild dogs, and civets.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the Tol Serpan operators are anticipating and securing\nvulnerable locations prone to animal crossings by installing fences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that with this fencing, wild animals will not cross the Tol\nSerpan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Section 2 of Tol Serpan, the\nRangkasbitung-Cikulur-Cileles route, was temporarily closed on Thursday\n(26\/3) at 17:00 WIB, and the toll road has served 150,000 vehicles\nduring the 2026 Eid al-Fitr homecoming and return traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Following its functional operation, Section 2 of Tol Serpan is\nplanned to open fully in the second half of this year.<\/p>\n<p>With the operation of Section 2 Rangkasbitung-Cikukur-Cileles on 12\nMarch 2026, Tol Serpan shortens travel times for road users heading to\nSerang, Lebak, and Pandeglang during Eid al-Fitr homecoming and return\ntraffic, as well as tourism.<\/p>\n<p>During this period, many people visit tourist destinations such as\nTanjung Lesung in Pandeglang Regency, southern Banten beaches, and the\nBaduy Tribe in Lebak Regency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are carrying out the temporary closure of\nRangkasbitung-Cikulur-Cileles to complete construction work and ensure\nmore optimal service standards,\u201d said Albagir.
