Tracks 6-8 at Bogor Station to Be Temporarily Closed: What Will Change?

The railway crossings on tracks 6, 7, and 8 at Bogor Station in West Java will be temporarily closed starting from mid-April 2026. The closure of these three railway tracks at Bogor Station is due to the extension of the platform by 50 metres, as well as adjustments to the tracks and platforms on tracks 6 and 7 from the existing condition spanning 57 metres. The work is planned to last for 90 calendar days and will begin in the third week of April 2026, meaning it is expected to be completed in July 2026. During the construction period, several areas at Bogor Station will be used to support the construction activities, including the parking area managed by PT Reska Multi Usaha. The former parking area managed by YWKA will also be repurposed as a mobilisation route to the work site. Several tenants at Bogor Station will be affected, particularly five businesses on platform 8 whose access will be temporarily closed during the construction period. Franoto emphasised that KAI has socialised these arrangements to the tenants. To ensure smooth passenger movement, KAI has prepared a rerouting scheme. Passenger boarding and alighting services on tracks 6, 7, and 8 at Bogor Station will be closed and redirected to tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Access for entry and exit, including tap-in and tap-out, will also change. “In addition, there will be adjustments to 31 Commuter Line Bogor train schedules for departure and arrival times, delayed by two to three minutes from the previous schedule,” said VP Corporate Secretary of KAI Commuter, Karina Amanda. Passenger service facilities on the west side of the station, such as the prayer room and toilets, will also be temporarily relocated to the south side of the station. Meanwhile, a temporary level crossing will be built for passenger movement entering or exiting on the south side towards Jalan Kapten Muslihat to platforms 1-5. The crossing on track 5 towards Bogor Paledang will be widened to enhance user comfort and safety. “KAI Commuter also urges Commuter Line users boarding and alighting at Bogor Station to adjust to the new departure and arrival flows as well as the updated KRL train schedules,” Karina explained.
