Congestion is not only happening in the big streets but also happens in Leaden Hall Highway from Jakarta to Bandung. Congestion this time is accompained by heavy rain that flushes the area of Bandung and the surrounding areas starting this morning that causes flood around Bandung, not least in Leaden Hall Highway, Bandung. This affects the congestion that is getting worse from the direction of Jakarta to Bandung. Well, we will connect with my colleague Thea Collins on Leaden Hall Highway, Bandung. REPORTER: Thanks to Joni. Good morning viewers, I am currently on Leaden Hall Highway, Bandung, The congestion in this area has become a subscription and becomesa major problem for motorcyclists and cars, because yhis bottleneck hampers the activities of the sorrounding comumnity, especially in the morning. Especially now is the holiday season at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, which affects the traffic congestion is increasingly severe in this Bandung Bandung area. Viewers, here not only happens congestion, but also haevy rain that flushed this area since at 07.00 am. The rain that has flushed this area seemed thorough in the area around Bandung causing a long traffic jam up to about 7 km from the direction of Jakarta to Bandung. This jam has accured almost 2 hours. Rain also makes the complex of houses near the highway in Bandung flooded to a height of 30-40 cm. Heavy rain also results in roads around the perforated Bandung and disrupts the road users. It is very dangerous especially for two-wheeled riders. The worst congestion occurs from the flyover near the Super Mall to the red light intersection of White end Street. This can be seen from the volume of both four-wheeled vehicles that have filled yhis street since the morning. So, for you who want to take a vacation or just passing in the area of Bandung, it’d better choose other alternative routes because the congestion is expected to last until noon if the rain stops and water inundated areas around Bandung gradually recedes.
