The Transportation Agency will prepare a traffic engineering scheme in the Gatot Subroto road area. This is done to ensure smooth mobility for residents during the construction of an underpass on Gatot Subroto road.
Endang explained that the construction being carried out by the West Java Provincial Highways and Spatial Planning Agency has now entered the auction stage.
“We have prepared a traffic engineering plan around Gatot Subroto road where the underpass will be built. Certainly that road cannot be used during construction,” he said.
He added that currently they have mapped out that small cars and motorcycles from Gatot Subroto road towards the Baros Toll access, Leuwigajah and surrounding areas will be directed to Gedong Opat road, Sriwijaya road, Kartini road, and Baros road.
“Meanwhile, from the opposite direction it remains unchanged via Sudirman road, Urip Sumoharjo road, Sriwijaya road. So during the construction of the new underpass it is planned to be two-way. But only for small cars,” he said.
He also said that for large vehicles like trucks and buses from the Padalarang direction heading to Baros will be directed through Cimindi via Mahar Martanegara road. Likewise from the opposite direction they will take the same road.
“Yes, before it is implemented, we will invite the PPK from the West Java Provincial Highways Agency and the contractor. From our side it is already fixed, but it must also be discussed with those in charge of the work,” he said.
In addition to traffic engineering, Transportation Agency personnel will also be placed at the location to anticipate vehicle density. Officers are planned to be on standby during the construction process.
“Besides engineering, we will certainly have personnel placement during the construction process. Hopefully it can ease the congestion that often occurs when trains pass and reduce traffic accidents,” he concluded.
