        "summary": "The Depok City Government is accelerating the widening of Enggram and Pemuda Roads along Muchtar Highway to address severe traffic congestion at the \"Sawangan Kubro\" exit from the Depok-Antasari Toll Road, a term that has gone viral on social media due to the real bottleneck at Tugu Batu junction. With a budget of Rp 40 billion for construction and up to Rp 100 billion for land acquisition, the project\u2014originally planned for 2026\u2014aims to create alternative routes and alleviate jams at key points like Parung Bingung, Jalan Keadilan, and Sawangan junctions. Mayor Supian Suri emphasised that these initiatives will ensure tangible benefits for residents, tackling a persistent issue exacerbated by toll road traffic.",
        "content": "<p>Depok Mayor Supian Suri stated that the term \u201cSawangan Kubro\u201d, which\nhas recently gone viral on social media, stems from the actual traffic\ncongestion conditions at the exit of the Depok-Antasari Toll Road\n(Desari) leading to Sawangan Main Road. To address this issue, the Depok\nCity Government (Pemkot) will accelerate the widening of Enggram Road\nand Pemuda Road on Muchtar Main Road. These two stretches are being\nprepared as alternative routes to ease the density at the Tugu Batu\njunction, which has long been one of the sources of congestion. Supian\nemphasised that addressing congestion in the Sawangan area has actually\nbeen part of the Pemkot\u2019s plans since last year. However, in 2026, these\nprojects will be accelerated and prioritised. The widening of Enggram\nRoad is planned to have a width of around 10 metres with a length of\napproximately 800 metres. Pemkot Depok has allocated a budget of around\nRp 40 billion for physical construction, including the two road\nstretches. In addition, a budget of up to Rp 100 billion has been\nprepared for land acquisition. Besides these two roads, Pemkot also\ntargets interventions at several congestion hotspots, particularly at\nthe Parung Bingung junction, which has long been the main bottleneck for\nvehicle flow from the toll direction. Two other priority points are the\nJalan Keadilan junction and the Tugu Batu Sawangan junction. \u201cGoing\nforward, Sawangan will receive serious attention. We want to ensure that\ndevelopment is truly felt by the residents,\u201d said Supian on Friday\n(24\/4\/2026), quoted from Tribunnews. For context, the mentions of\n\u201cSawangan Kubro\u201d and \u201cSawangan Sugro\u201d that are buzzing on social media\nrefer to the directions exiting the Depok-Antasari Toll Road via the\nSawangan Toll Gate. If vehicles exit the toll and turn right towards\nParung Bingung, that route is known as \u201cSawangan Kubro\u201d because it is\noften plagued by severe congestion. Meanwhile, if turning left towards\nDTC or Mampang, that route is called \u201cSawangan Sugro\u201d because it is\nrelatively smoother. Ahmad Fikri (35), a Sawangan resident, said that\ntraffic conditions are only relatively smooth in the middle of the\nnight.<\/p>",
