A collapsed road on the banks of the Kali Pulo Gadung in East Jakarta\nis continuing to widen. According to residents, the road collapse first\noccurred in April 2026.<\/p>\n
The head of RT 11 RW 03 Pulo Gadung, Warjono, explained that the\ncollapsed road is getting wider because it has not been repaired.\n\u201cInitially the collapse was only small, but every day it keeps shifting\nand getting wider,\u201d he said in Jakarta on Monday (6\/7).<\/p>\n
Residents are complaining and are worried that the collapsed road in\nPulo Gadung could cause a traffic accident if it is not addressed\nimmediately. According to Warjono, the road collapse in Pulo Gadung was\ninitially minor. Now, it has expanded lengthways to 100 metres.<\/p>\n
To anticipate accidents, residents and local administrators have\nclosed the road access to four-wheeled vehicles. Motorcycles can still\npass through the road, but alternately, as the remaining road width is\nonly about one metre. \u201cFour-wheeled vehicles, MSME traders, they cannot\npass through here, they have to turn around,\u201d Warjono stated.<\/p>\n
Warjono suspects the damage and collapse were caused by dredging of\nthe Kali Pulo Gadung. This made the soil structure on the riverbank\nunstable and it gradually gave way, dragging the road surface down.\nOther facilities have also been affected by the river dredging. Warjono\nsaid several water channels are now cracked, the road surface continues\nto subside, and a waste disposal site has also been damaged.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/collapsed-road-in-pulo-gadung-left-unrepaired-for-five-months-1783353034", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
