The Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) has applied a traffic engineering on Jalan Kebon Sirih and Jalan M.H. Thamrin due to the continuation of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Phase 2 CP-201 work.

In order to support the work, traffic engineering will be carried out in stages

The construction work will take place on February 5 - May 31, 2022 at the intersection of Jalan Kebon Sirih - Jalan M.H. Thamrin.

Jakarta Dishub Head, Syafrin Liputo conveyed, the project is related to soil stability improvement method, construction on the east side of diaphragm walls, temporary girders installation, deck construction, and excavation work for Thamrin MRT Station.

"Traffic engineering will be carried out in stages," he said, Friday (2/4).

He explained that the construction on the east side of south segment of Tugu Jam will start from February 5 to April 3. Therefore, traffic flow from west (Tanah Abang) to east (Senen) can still pass through the intersection of Jalan Kebon Sirih - Jalan M.H. Thamrin (Tugu Jam).

Meanwhile, the work on the east side of north segment of Tugu Jam will take place from April 4 to May 31. During the period, traffic flow from west (Tanah Abang) to east (Senen) will be diverted through the south side of Tugu Jam at intersection of Jalan Kebon Sirih - Jalan M.H. Thamrin.
