Here is Traffic Engineering Management During MRT Phase 2 Construction

The construction of the Jakarta MRT Phase 2A contract package 201 (CP201) HI Roundabout - Harmoni is still ongoing with the scope of the construction of an underground tunnel along 2,677 meters starting from HI Roundabout to Harmoni, Central Jakarta. It includes two stations, namely Thamrin and Monas.

Since July 24, the Traffic Engineering Management (MRLL) on Jalan MH Thamrin has been imposed to maintain the smooth flow of traffic during the construction

"Since July 24, the Traffic Engineering Management (MRLL) on Jalan MH Thamrin has been imposed to maintain the smooth flow of traffic during the c onstruction. Further PT MRT Jakarta together with Shimizu-Adhi Karya Joint Venture (SAJV) as the executing contractor will do traffic arrangements for the Thamrin Station construction work and preparation for tunneling work," expressed PT MRT's Coorperate Secretary Division Head, Muhamad Kamaluddin, Monday (12/21).

Here are the details of the traffic engineering for the construction of Thamrin MRT Jakarta Station:

MRT Phase II Construction Begins, Dishub Ready to Implement Traffic Engineering

1. December 19 - February 10

- Bank Indonesia (BI) bus stop services will be relocated to a temporary stop on the pedestrian lane in front of the BI Building (towards Kota) and to the temporary stop on the pedestrian lane in front of the Thamrin 10 area (towards Blok M)

- Jalan MH Thamrin on the west side (towards Kota) starting from the front of the BPPT building to BI building, and Jalan MH Thamrin on the east side (towards Blok M) starting from the front of the ESDM Ministry building to Thamrin 10, which originally consisted of 5 lanes of regular vehicles and 1 Transjakarta lane (5+1), changes to 4 lanes for regular vehicles and 1 lane for mixed traffic between Transjakarta lanes and regular vehicles (4+1)

- The focused work is the demolition of the existing middle median, temporary relocation of the Thamrin Clock Tower and concrete pavement for the middle median working area

2. February 11 - March 31

- Jalan MH Thamrin on the west side (towards Kota) starting from the front of BPPT to BI temporary stops, which originally consisted of 4 lanes of regular vehicles and 1 lane of Transjakarta (4+1), divided into two sides of the middle median and the right side of the middle median. The left side of the middle median becomes 2 lanes of regular vehicles and 1 mixed traffic between Transjakarta lanes and regular vehicles (2+1), and the right side of the middle median becomes 2 lanes of regular vehicles

- Jalan MH Thamrin on the east side (towards Blok M) starting from the front of the ESDM Ministry to the Thamrin 10 temporary stop is fixed with a configuration of 4 lanes of regular vehicles and 1 lane of mixed traffic between Transjakarta lanes and regular vehicles (4+1)

3. Traffic engineering preparation for tunneling work for the MRT Jakarta Phase 2A on December 19 - February 6, 2021

- Jalan MH Thamrin on the west side after the Indonesia One Project, which consisted of 4 lanes of regular vehicles and 1 Transjakarta lane (4+1), is divided into 2 sides of the middle median and the right side of the middle median. The left side of the middle median becomes 2 lanes of regular vehicles and the right side of the middle median becomes 2 lanes of regular vehicles and 1 mixed traffic between Transjakarta lanes and regular vehicles (2+1)

- Meanwhile, starting from Lippo Thamrin to Menara Topas, it has returned to 4 lanes for regular vehicles and 1 lane for Transjakarta (4+1)

- No lane change on Jalan MH Thamrin on the east side

- The focused work is soil improvement to support the tunnel drilling machine launching on Jalan MH Thamrin on the west side, as well as cleaning and pavement of the middle median road

3. February 6 - March 24

- Jalan MH Thamrin on the west side after the Indonesia One Project, changed with the configuration of the left side of the center median to 3 lanes of regular vehicles, and the right side of the middle median to 1 lane of regular vehicles and 1 lane of mixed traffic between TransJakarta lanes and regular vehicles (1+1)

- From Lippo Thamrin to Menara Topas, it has returned to 4 lanes for regular vehicles and 1 lane for Transjakarta (4+1)

- No lane change on Jalan MH Thamrin on the east side

- The focused work is the preparation of tunneling work (east side)

"We urge the public to participate in maintaining and complying with these regulations, for the sake of sustainable development," he stated.
