September 25th, 2008
SURABAYA: East Java Police will focus on maintaining traffic along the Porong highway in Sidoarjo to ensure all travelers and motorists travel safely to celebrate the Idul Fitri holiday in their home village in the province.
Director of traffic affairs at the provincial police headquarters Sr. Comr. Bambang Sukamto said the highway would be closely supervised by traffic police since the highway connecting East Java with Malang, Pasuruan, Jember, Situbondo and Banyuwangi was prone to traffic jams.
“We are also preparing alternative routes in case the traffic is heavily congested before and after the holiday and in case of any breaks in the mudflow dike, he said an that the alternative route would be through Mojokerto, Mojosari, Pandaan and Pasuruan.
Meanwhile deputy chairman of the Sidoarjo Mudflow Mitigation Agency (BPLS) on operational affairs Soffian Hadi said his agency would continue supervising mudflow conditions to help ensure the smooth flow of traffic along the highway before, during and after the holiday. –JP
