Bogor focus on solving traffic jams

BOGOR: The Sepur Pakuan overpass connecting the Baranangsiang
toll road and the Bogor Agriculture Institute campus in
Baranangsiang, was opened by Bogor Mayor Iswara Natanegara on
Wednesday.

"We expect the alternative road will reduce heavy traffic on
Jl. Pajajaran, especially around the Baranangsiang bus terminal,"
Iswara said. The city paid Rp 2.8 billion (US$329,411) to
construct the road, he said

The road provides short cuts from the Vila Duta housing estate
to the Warung Jambu and the Bantarjati housing area.

Iswara said his office had yet to solve traffic congestion in
the town "because the existing infrastructure can only
accommodate 5 percent of about 40,000 vehicles traversing the
town every day".

The administration in the future will construct more
overpasses and widen the existing roads. -- JP
