Dear friends, The annual celebration of Eid al-Fitr or Lebaran is a moment that many people in Indonesia have been looking forward to. It is a time where families gather and celebrate after a month of fasting during Ramadan. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has decided to limit people’s movement during the holiday season, including implementing a restriction on the use of the Cisumdawu toll road.

According to the latest announcement, the Cisumdawu toll road will only be open until 3:00 PM (WIB) during the Lebaran holiday season. This decision is made to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as many people usually travel to their hometowns during this period. The restriction will be applied from May 6th to May 17th, 2023.

The decision to limit access to the toll road has sparked various reactions from the public. Some people are supportive, as they believe this decision is crucial to control the spread of COVID-19. Meanwhile, others criticize the decision, as they argue that it will only cause more chaos and inconvenience for people who are traveling.

For those who are planning to travel during the Lebaran holiday season, it is important to make the necessary preparations and adjustments. One alternative route that can be considered is the Puncak alternative route, which can be accessed through the Jagorawi toll road. It is also advisable to plan your journey ahead of time and avoid traveling during peak hours.
