Traffic detour on Jl. Jend. Sudirman

JAKARTA (JP): Traffic on Jl. Sudirman in South Jakarta will be
partly detoured from 9 p.m. on Saturday night to 5 a.m. on Sunday
morning due to the demolition of a pedestrian bridge in front of
the Chase Plaza complex, an official of the Land Transportation
Agency said on Friday.

During demolition work on the east side of the street, north
to south traffic traveling in the slow and fast lanes will be
detoured from the intersection at Jl. Sudirman and Jl. Setiabudi
to the opposite roadway, returning to the north to south lanes
before reaching the Semanggi Cloverleaf. Traffic coming from the
south will be funneled into the slow lane, JP Sepang, head of the
agency, said.

During work on the west side of the street, south to north
traffic in the slow and fast lanes will be detoured to the
opposite roadway in front of the BRI building, returning to the
south to north lanes at the intersection of Jl. Jend. Sudirman
and Jl. Setiabudi. Traffic coming from the north will merge into
the slow lane, he said.

In order to avoid heavy traffic due to the demolition work,
motorists are urged to take alternative routes, including Jl.
Karet Pasar Baru Timur and Jl. KH Mas Mansyur, he added. (ivy)
