Latumenten Flyover Construction Accelerated, Target Completion in 2026
The Jakarta Provincial Government is pressing ahead with the Latumenten Flyover project in West Jakarta. By mid-2026, construction work has shifted to installing the upper structure at the intersection, which experiences very high traffic flow. The head of the Dinas Bina Marga said that progress has reached 78 percent. The acceleration is being achieved by increasing night-time work to install concrete box girders without interrupting traffic on the road beneath.
The project is designed to remove conflict points at the level crossing with the railway that has long been a major cause of congestion on Latumenten Street. With this acceleration, functional testing is expected to be carried out in the fourth quarter of 2026. Because heavy work is being carried out in the median, the Department of Transportation has implemented lane narrowing at several points, and the public is advised to observe the work schedule and follow the directions of on-site officers. Some alternative routes are recommended, including:
Heavy lifting is typically conducted from 22:00 to 04:00 local time; during these hours there may be temporary road closures for safety. Technically, the flyover will separate local traffic from vehicles heading toward Pluit or Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, which should reduce congestion and improve safety by eliminating the direct interface between motor vehicles and the commuter railway.
The overall construction is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, with an inauguration planned in December 2026. So far there have been no permanent total road closures; closures are situational and temporary at night during heavy girders installation. The main objective is to ease congestion at the Latumenten intersection and to remove the level crossing with the railway to improve traffic flow and safety. The DKI Jakarta Department of Transportation has implemented traffic management on the Latumenten-Grogol Flyover until 5 June 2026 in relation to girder installation.
