Korlantas Polri took discretionary action by temporarily closing\naccess to the elevated Mohamed Bin Zayed (MBZ) toll road on Thursday\nafternoon (19\/3). This situational policy was implemented following an\nextreme surge in vehicle volumes at the peak of the 2026 Lebaran\nhomecoming traffic.<\/p>\n
Kakorlantas Polri Irjen Pol. Agus Suryonugroho confirmed that the\nclosure lasted for about 1.5 hours. This was due to the density on the\nelevated toll reaching its maximum point, even though the national\none-way scheme had been activated since the morning.<\/p>\n
According to Irjen Pol. Agus, this year\u2019s homecoming dynamics show a\ndifferent pattern. \u201cThis year is a bit different because we had to close\nMBZ temporarily earlier. We have implemented the national one-way, but\nthe peak flow is still high,\u201d he stated at the Command Center Post KM 29\nTol Cikampek.<\/p>\n
During the closure of the elevated toll access, officers directed all\nhomecomers to pass through the lower Jakarta-Cikampek toll route. This\nstep was crucial given the characteristics of the MBZ toll, which lacks\nrest areas, making density on that route highly risky for driver safety\nif total congestion occurs.<\/p>\n
After regulating the traffic load through a contraflow scheme on the\nlower route, Polri finally reopened MBZ access. \u201cWe closed MBZ for\nalmost 1.5 hours earlier. Because the contraflow measures have been\ncompleted, we opened it again and alhamdulillah, it\u2019s now smooth,\u201d Agus\nexplained.<\/p>\n
PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek (JJC) recorded 63,275 vehicles\nleaving Jakarta via MBZ in a short time at the start of the homecoming\nperiod.<\/p>\n
The public is urged to remain vigilant, ensure prime physical\ncondition, and check fuel sufficiency before ascending the MBZ elevated\nroute to anticipate subsequent open-close engineering.<\/p>\n

As many as 36,473 vehicles were recorded returning to Jakarta from\nthe east via the Mohamed Bin Zayed (MBZ) elevated road section at the\nbeginning of 2026.<\/p>\n
The MBZ elevated toll was temporarily closed on Friday morning, 28\nMarch 2025. As a result, congestion occurred in the vehicle flow at KM\n15, located below the MBZ elevated toll route.<\/p>\n
The undulating condition of the Mohamed Bin Zayed (MBZ) elevated toll\nroad requires drivers, especially Lebaran homecomers, to maintain\nvehicle speed.<\/p>\n
