PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk is ensuring all sections of toll roads\nunder its management are in prime condition ahead of increased public\nmobility during the 2026 Eid holiday period or 1447 H Idul Fitri.<\/p>\n
In recent times, sustained heavy rainfall has the potential to\ntrigger damage to road surfaces. This situation is exacerbated by high\ntraffic volumes, including vehicles with excessive loads or over\ndimension over loading (ODOL), which can accelerate road surface\ndeterioration.<\/p>\n
Based on forecasts from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics\nAgency (BMKG), during the 2026 Eid holiday period, weather conditions\nare expected to be generally characterised by rain with light to\nmoderate intensity across several Indonesian regions.<\/p>\n
Consequently, Jasa Marga is accelerating a comprehensive and\nsustained toll road preservation programme. Through this initiative,\nJasa Marga is targeting all toll road pavement disturbances to be\nhandled optimally by 14 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Jasa Marga Chief Executive Rivan A Purwantono extended his apologies\nto all toll road users for the inconvenience caused by pavement\ndisturbances on several Jasa Marga Group toll road sections. Apologies\nwere also extended to users whose journeys have been affected by the\nongoing preservation work.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to accelerating preservation work so that the\nsafety, comfort, and wellbeing of toll road users remain protected,\nespecially in facing the surge in traffic volume during the Eid exodus\nand return period,\u201d said Rivan in a press release received by Kompas.com\non Thursday (12\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
The preservation work is conducted under supervision of the Ministry\nof Public Works as part of fulfilling performance standards (SPM).\nThrough these efforts, Jasa Marga continues to enhance the quality of\ntoll road services to ensure motorist safety and comfort as the top\npriority.<\/p>\n
Technically, preservation work includes scraping, filling, and\noverlay (SFO) to restore road surface quality, rapid pothole repair\n(patching), and strengthening pavement structure at points affected by\nODOL vehicle loads. Additionally, Jasa Marga is also undertaking\ndrainage channel cleaning and normalisation to prevent waterlogging from\nsustained heavy rainfall that could accelerate road construction\ndegradation.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jasa-marga-accelerates-toll-road-preservation-ensures-safe-and-comfortable-eid-journey-1773312844", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
