Malang | bridge Conditions Sukarno-Hatta (Sukhat) east prone to collapse when traffic conditions, bridge 33-year-old feared no longer hold back the burden of hundreds of vehicles thereon. Department of Transportation (Affair) Malang City will immediately conduct a traffic engineering (Traffic) to mitigate these concerns.
With Traffic engineering is expected to no longer be a bottleneck on the bridge Sukhat. Based on observations of Transportation, one of the causes of congestion with the opening of the gate of Universitas Brawijaya (UB). The location of the gate facing straight bridge. According to the Transportation Department assessment, since the opening of the gates of UB, the flow of vehicles around the end of the bridge to be complicated.
"In order for the vehicle did not stop on the bridge, we will discuss traffic engineering. We will seek advice from various universities, including UB, "said Subari, Malang City Transportation Agency chief, as quoted Malang Jawa Pos daily Online.com from Wednesday (5/06) yesterday.
Subari said, until now, it has not found a solution. In mid-May, light Subari, Transportation Department has received a letter from the Department of Public Works and Highways East Java Province. Transportation requested a move traffic light intersection defunct Sukhat bridge. "Traffic is light and the Transportation Department installed LLAJ East Java Province. We do not have authority to move traffic light, "he added.
According to a high level of congestion is difficult to find an effective Traffic engineering. Sukhat mentioned about closing gates, Subari not dare responded affirmatively. He analyzed, if the path to UB closed, traffic will be switched to Jl. Maj. Panjaitan. Because vehicles entering UB should turn left onto the ramp Maj. Panjaitan, after the vehicle turn back. "The problem is, the road is narrow and there is no area to turn around," said Subari.
Meanwhile, Vice Rector I UB, Bambang Suharto said, UB UB ready to close the gate if indeed it is necessary "But there must be an official letter from the relevant parties first, because if the company is closed for sure a lot of the protests," said Bambang.
According to him, closing traffic, UB gate directly opposite the bridge Sukhat less effective congestion on the bridge. Because motorists will turn back to get into UB. In fact, the road in place does not allow unrtuk turn back. "The net is too narrow. So the riders definitely difficult to turn back. And this will lead to more congestion, "he added.
But basically UB ready to close the road, if deemed dangerous road users. Because it concerns the safety of many people "Anyway we will follow what is best for the community," he added.
Bambang explained that the congestion on the bridge Sukhat occur at certain hours. Ie, in the morning, people go to work, around 06.30 until 07.30 pm, after school between 12.30 until 13.30 and from work between the hours of 16:00 to 17:00 pm.
Bambang then give a solution, namely to build a fly over, but the funds required to build it big enough, "But for the long-term benefits would have been great for increasing circulation economics." Bambang said.|AZ| news source: Malang Online.com
