Jl. Thamrin to be closed temporarily

JAKARTA (JP): Part of Jl. Thamrin, one of the city's main
thoroughfares, will be temporarily closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
on Thursday and Friday due to the construction of a pedestrian
bridge in front of the Landmark building.

The city land transportation agency was quoted by Antara as
saying on Tuesday that the affected part of the road began at the
Jl. Tanjung Karang intersection up to the Hotel Indonesia traffic
circle.

To avoid traffic jams, the agency suggested those who pass the
street from the north use Jl. Imam Bonjol, while those from the
south go along Jl. Tanjung Karang.

"We urge drivers to avoid the location and to obey traffic
signs and police officers' directions," said U. Pristono M.T., an
official of the agency. (ind)
