The solution of traffic congestion during flyover construction at Antapani intersection in Bandung

Abstract

The Construction of Antapani Flyover has caused traffic congestion. This paper is to find the solution of congestions to achieve the queuing standard allowed referring to PKJI 2014. The method of research uses deductive and inductive which are analysed using the risk analysis of traffic disruptions. The scope of analysis is focused on the two critical construction works, namely abutment and bridge wall works. The traffic congestion analysis considers the narrowing road due to construction disruption. The traffic congestion analysis was carried out by comparing the congestion of the existing construction with the construction method proposed. The three proposed alternative solutions are by the increasing road capacity, scheduling construction methods, and a combining solution those two alternatives. The results show that the best alternative solution to reduce traffic congestion during construction is a combined solution between the increasing road capacity and scheduling construction methods. The result of alternative solution shows the decrease of queue on Terusan Jakarta road reaching up to 90% from the existing condition. The conclusion describes that the narrowing road of work zones of construction has a huge influence on traffic congestion. By this result is suggested to consider the magnitude of disturbance as well as the solution of the traffic congestion that may occurred.
