Jakarta – The provincial government of DKI Jakarta will be converted to the operation of the sidewalks on Jalan TB Simatupang, Jakarta Setalan, who becomes a vehicle track. Member of Commission D DKI Jakarta DPRD F-PDIP Ida Mahmudah said that congestion in TB Simatupang should be overcome with a number of alternatives. “The regional government is indeed obliged to find an alternative if the road is too stuck; we must be used for the time being, we should not be used by public transport, but there are still many motorcycles stealing (roads),” Ida told reporters on Monday (8/25/2025). Browse to continue with the content of IDA that the public will support the plan of the Jakarta provincial government. He said traffic jams on Jalan TB Simatupang should be overcome immediately for the ease of residents. “Because it is an alternative to reducing congestion, I do not think it is a problem and ask for support from the surrounding community so that it can run so that congestion can be dissolved,” he said. Ida said the sidewalk that would be used as a vehicle track should be adapted to the conditions on the ground. He hopes that there will be a side of the sidewalk for pedestrians. “I forgot, how many meters sidewalk, if the pavement is very large, there is no problem. If there is no three meters, there is no problem, even if it is a bit for pedestrians, there are still pedestrians,” he explained. Ask for the excavation to be completed immediately. The idea also highlighted the excavation project that became the culprit of traffic jams in TB Simatupang. He requested that the contractor add staff so that the work could be completed immediately. “The experience of a few days is indeed a total traffic jam due to the factor there is excavation development. It is hoped that the excavation contractor is to add staff so that the traffic jams do not keep,” he explained. “Why, because it is indeed done by the work, but also to reduce the congestion that gets worse, I am facing a member of the DPRD Commission D that the contractor contributes to the personal to accelerate its development, not to reduce the specifications, but the personal plus, so that the development is faster,” he decided. Support to build the review, but … DKI Jakarta provincial government is currently studying the construction of flying or downfall in the major acceleration of the TB Simatupang road. Ida supports the program as a step to overcome congestion. “If it is indeed one of the solutions, why not. But one thing is this development more trapped, the principle of finding a solution or solving the traffic around TB Simatupang must be done, but the community must indeed be prepared if it is built later, it is more trapped,” Ida said. Ida said the construction of pryover will certainly cause traffic jams. So, he said, residents must be patient during construction. “So you must first sacrifice traffic jams, at least a half and a half to two years, if it is a fly or downfall, becomes one solution,” he said. In addition, Ida reminded that the flying construction was carried out after the excavation project was completed on Jalan TB Simatupang. Because, he said, the number of projects will aggravate the congestion at one time. “Hopefully the project that is hopefully implemented will be completed soon so that it will not double the congestion. But it is still … If the 2026 budget also lies a few months ahead, it is still in August, so there is still time,” he said. The provincial government of DKI Jakarta plans to use a portion of the sidewalks in the TB Simatupang area, South Jakarta, to add vehicle roads to unravel congestion. DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung explained the reasons for the operation of the sidewalk. “Some of the sidewalks that cannot be used properly for pedestrians because some are also cut into pieces,” Pramono said on the sidelines of the Ultra Marathon Itb in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, on Sunday (8/24). Pramono explained that some of the sidewalks used as roads would be used until November. After completing the excavation project, Pramono will prioritize the construction of the sidewalk for pedestrians. “To reach November, it is first used to handle traffic, we will return it,” he said.
