Traffic diverted for construction work

JAKARTA: The city transportation agency announced on Thursday
that traffic was being diverted in the vicinity of the Cawang
intersection, East Jakarta, to facilitate the construction of an
underpass.

A release from the agency said that starting on Friday at 6
a.m., motorists traveling from Jl. M.T. Haryono in the direction
of Jl. Kramat Jati or Cililitan must turn left and make a U-turn
on Jl. D.I. Panjaitan in front of the Wika building instead of
turning right onto Jl. Maj. Gen. Sutoyo.

Motorists traveling from Jl. Halim Perdanakusuma in the
direction of Jl. M.T. Haryono must turn left and make a U-turn on
Jl. Maj. Gen. Sutoyo in front of the BAKN building.

Those heading to Jl. M.T. Haryono from Jl. D.I. Panjaitan must
go straight on to Jl. Maj. Gen. Sutoyo and turn left after the
traffic circle.

North-bound traffic from Jl. Maj. Gen. Sutoyo can proceed
straight ahead to Jl. D.I. Panjaitan.

The construction of the underpass in Cawang is expected to
cause severe congestion at the already gridlocked intersection
over the coming months. --JP
