The Higienis street vendors (PKL) arrangement work project on Jalan Raden Patah, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta prompting local transportation authorities to enact traffic-engineering measures to ease congestion in the busy area.

It is precisely located on the west side of the Public Works and Public Housing Ministry office building from the Bina Marga gate to the Water Resources gate.

Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) Head Syafrin Liputo said the work had been ongoing since November 11 and was targeted to be finish in May 30 2021, with a work area of 372 meters length.

"They (PKL) are temporarily relocated to the north and south sides. As for the temporary parking lot, we will use the south and north side of the work location and in the front of Al-Azhar," he explained, Friday (11/13).

Here is the work location that is divided into two work areas:

North Side

From the Bina Marga gate to Raden Patah gate will use one parking area for four-wheeled vehicles and one traffic lane. Vehicles can still pass using one lane

South Side

From the Raden Patah gate to Water Resources gate will use the parking area for slow two-wheeled vehicles. Traffic is diverted using fast lanes

"After the project is finished, everything will return to normal," he stated.
