PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek states that vehicle traffic during the Lebaran return period on Sunday (29/3) through the Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ) Elevated Road was safe and already smooth without experiencing any surges. “On Sunday (29/3), there was a decrease in vehicle volume passing through the MBZ section in both directions,” said GM of Operations and Maintenance at PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek, Desti Anggraeni, in Bekasi, West Java, on Monday.

Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, leaving Jakarta, the vehicle volume was recorded at 16,312 vehicles, down 29.81 percent compared to normal traffic of 23,241 vehicles.
