Overpass to be built in Bekasi

JAKARTA (JP): The Bekasi administration will soon construct a overpass in Bulak Kapal near the Heroes Cemetery, East Bekasi, in an effort to reduce chronic traffic jams in the area.

When completed, the road will pass over railroad tracks.

"I'm sure the construction of the overpass will greatly help ease traffic jams in Bulak Kapal, especially since motorists will no longer have to stop every time a train passes," Bekasi Regent Much. Jamhari told The Jakarta Post during an inspection of the site last weekend.

During the inspection the regent was accompanied by his staff members as well as Edi Sasongko, a top official at the state-run railway company, Perumka.(12/bas)
