The closure, which was initially scheduled to last for two days, from February 5-6, 2025, includes strategic areas such as the Nusantara Rest Area, Ceremony Plaza, Kusuma Bangsa Park, and the office area of the coordinating ministries.

However, thanks to the hard work of the maintenance team, this process was completed sooner than expected. Thus, the IKN Authority quickly took steps to reopen the area, allowing the public to enjoy the beauty and comfort of IKN once again.
