\u201cOkay, so far so good, I was surprised earlier. When I passed\nthrough, I checked the road shoulder, it\u2019s good, good,\u201d said Dody in\nBrebes, Central Java, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, according to him, there are still several points that\nneed improvement. \u201cThere are a few points near Brebes that were a bit\ndamaged earlier. Not many, the rest are good, already great. Because the\nroad shoulders are also really great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dody stated that the Ministry of Public Works is committed to\ncontinuously enhancing the quality of roads to support public\nconnectivity.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, alhamdulillah, overall it\u2019s smooth. Yesterday I complained\nabout Cipali but it\u2019s already been fixed. So it has to always be like\nthat because it\u2019s the rainy season, so the work must continue,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Dody also assessed that the implementation of the Eid homecoming and\nreturn flows in 2026 generally proceeded relatively more smoothly\ncompared to the previous year, with ongoing monitoring and evaluation\nuntil the return flow period ends.<\/p>\n
According to him, the smoothness of the homecoming and return flows\nis inseparable from the synergy of various parties, including\ninfrastructure readiness, traffic management, and government policy\nsupport such as Work From Anywhere (WFA), which helps distribute public\ntravel times.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi stated that\nthe flexible work policy WFA effectively suppresses vehicle density\nduring the 2026 Eid homecoming and return.<\/p>\n
Dudy said the policy was able to reduce the projected number of\nvehicles returning at the peak return flow.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Transportation recorded that public transport\nmovements during the Eid period from H-8 to H+3 increased by 4.07 per\ncent, with the number of passenger departures rising 11.11 per cent\ncompared to the same period in 2025.<\/p>\n
In addition, the government also recorded the peak return flow on\nTuesday (24\/3), reaching 256,338 vehicles in one day, higher than the\nprevious year\u2019s Eid period of 223,163 vehicles.<\/p>\n
Not only WFA, he also assessed that the toll fare discount policy has\nthe potential to impact vehicle flow distribution so it is not\nconcentrated at certain times.<\/p>\n
Thus, he continued, the government urges the public to take advantage\nof the policy to avoid density during the peak return flow estimated to\noccur on 28\u201329 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Dudy assured that the government continues to evaluate the\norganisation of Eid transportation to improve service quality in future\nperiods.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/minister-of-public-works-states-condition-of-toll-roads-during-eid-2026-holiday-is-good-1774687877", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
