The North Jakarta Transportation Sub-agency has diverted traffic around Jalan Boulevar Artha Gading and Jalan Artha Gading Selatan, Kelapa Gading Sub-district amid the construction of the Kelapa Gading Polder.

Harlem Simanjuntak, Sub-agency Head of North Jakarta Transportation said, some 15 personnel had been deployed to control traffic and direct motorists to avoid the project site by searching alternative routes.

"This polder project is targeted to be done in December 2022," he expressed, Thursday (11/25).

He explained the traffic diversion would last for 24 hours to support the mobility of project work and accelerate anticipatory efforts to deal with flooding.

"We have done socialization, including about installation of banners and road signs. Hopefully, people understand it," he stated.
