C. Java to fix roads for the holidays

SEMARANG: Deputy Governor of the Economy Djoko Sudantoko said
on Tuesday the Central Java administration would repair some 19
overpasses on the province's main roads to prevent additional
traffic jams during the holidays.

He said motorists passing through the northern, central and
southern parts of the province would most likely experience
traffic jams during the upcoming Christmas, Idul Fitri and New
Year holidays.

"Traffic congestion happens in the areas because the 19
overpasses have been badly damaged by flood and landslides," he
said.

The overpasses included those located in the regencies of
Banyumas, Purbalingga, Banjarnegara, Cilacap, Brebes, Sragen and
Demak.

Djoko said the repair work had started and hopefully would be
completed in the middle of December.

"But seriously damaged overpasses will take longer to repair,
possibly into next year," he said. (har/hdn)
