JAKARTA (JP): The city land transportation office announced yesterday that the traffic flow in several roads in East Jakarta and North Jakarta will be detoured starting tomorrow due to road repairs.

According to a statement made available to The Jakarta Post yesterday, the traffic detour in North Jakarta mayoralty will occur on Jl. Yos Sudarso, Jl. Semper, Jl. Danau Sunter Utara, Jl. Kebantenan and Jl. Kampung Bandan.

In East Jakarta the detour will affect Jl. Pisangan Lama (in front of Cipinang railway station).

Motorists who normally use those roads are asked to avoid them if possible.

The statement said that all big trucks will not be allowed to use the roads at all, while motorists who cannot avoid using the roads are expected to have more patience as most of the roads will have one side closed.
