Depok speeds up road projects to ease Sawangan traffic

The city government in Depok is advancing road works in Sawangan to reduce severe traffic jams.

Sawangan’s Parung Bingung intersection brings together traffic from three roads and is known locally as “Sawangan Kubro.”

A separate project is rebuilding 872 metres of Enggram and Pemuda roads as an alternative route to ease pressure on Sawangan’s main road.

The Rp30 billion project began in June 2026 and is expected to be fully operational in December.

The city is also widening Parung Bingung, with a new road and two bridges over the Angsana and Pesanggrahan rivers.

Work on the eastern side of Jalan Raya Muchtar covers about 424 metres, and land acquisition has been completed.
