Traffic Congestion Reported Due to Flyover Repair on Jendral Sudirman Street

        

        Heavy traffic congestion occurred along Jalan Benteng Betawi to Cikokol on Monday morning as roadwork continued on the flyover located on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman (Veteran). The repair project caused significant delays for commuters starting their productive week.

        As part of the maintenance, one lane of the flyover heading toward Tanah Tinggi was completely closed, forcing all vehicles to divert. Meanwhile, the flyover lane heading toward Cikokol was divided into two sections, serving both directions — Cikokol-bound traffic and Tanah Tinggi–bound traffic. This arrangement resulted in a major bottleneck and slowed movement in the entire area.

        The congestion intensified due to the timing of the repair, which coincided with Monday morning rush hour, when most residents were heading to work, school, and university. Long queues of vehicles stretched from Jalan Benteng Betawi all the way through Cikokol, with motorists moving at a very slow pace.

        Drivers expressed frustration but acknowledged that the roadwork is necessary for long-term safety and road stability. Authorities have advised commuters to leave earlier or seek alternative routes until the repairs are completed.
