Traffic detour at Monas

Jakarta (JP): Starting today there will be several traffic detours near Monas compound.

The inner section of Jl. Pelataran Monas will be closed to the public. All vehicles will be redirected to a new road parallel to Jl. Silang Monas.

Other roads will remain open but function in a clockwise direction except for Jl. Silang Merdeka Timur Laut, which will be for two-way traffic. These new regulations will be in force until all road work around the area is completed.

Continuing road construction at Monas has created massive traffic problems, prompting the city land transportation agency to detour traffic. (25)
