Traffic Rerouted for Scholar Gathering at Monas

Jakarta's Department of Transportation (Dishub) will implement traffic engineering and transportation services around the National Monument (Monas) on Friday, June 19, 2026. This is in preparation for the Haul Akbar Ulama dan Habaib Betawi 2026, a large gathering of scholars and clerics, scheduled from 5 PM to 10 PM.

Budi Awaluddin, head of the DKI Jakarta Dishub, stated that 88 officers will be deployed to manage traffic. The measures aim to ensure smooth mobility for event participants and the general public in the surrounding areas. "We have prepared situational traffic engineering to ensure the event runs smoothly without disrupting public mobility," Awaluddin said.

Traffic will be managed situationally on the north side of Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, affecting routes from the west (Tanah Abang) and north (Kota) towards the east (Senen). The department has provided alternative routes for drivers to navigate around the affected areas, including routes via Jalan MH Thamrin, Jalan Ir H Juanda, and Jalan Gunung Sahari Raya, depending on the destination.

The event, Haul Akbar Ulama dan Habaib Betawi 2026, is expected to draw a significant crowd. The traffic management plan is designed to minimize disruption while accommodating the large number of attendees. Parking arrangements are also being prepared to support the event.
