        "content": "<p>BEKASI \u2014 A curved road in the Grand Galaxy City area, South Bekasi,\nCity of Bekasi, has come under scrutiny and sparked controversy for\nbeing deemed too high, steep, and dangerous to road users.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Bekasi Mayor Tri Adhianto has requested that the road be\nimmediately closed and demolished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday, we already asked for it to be closed. Because it is\nhighly dangerous for the existing traffic, too high and too sharp,\u201d Tri\nsaid when met at the Bekasi City Hall Plaza on Monday (4\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that the Bekasi City Government will conduct a thorough\nevaluation of existing buildings, especially those that could\npotentially harm the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will evaluate the existing buildings. Everything must comply with\nthe rules and not harm the surrounding residents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the condition of the curved road in the area had gone\nviral on social media.<\/p>\n<p>In the circulating video, a road resembling a dyke is visible, with a\nsharp incline and considerable elevation.<\/p>\n<p>Resident of RT 15 Pondok Mitra Lestari (PML), Andi Firdaus, assessed\nthat the infrastructure development poses a risk to the safety of road\nusers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a physical infrastructure perspective, it\u2019s not normal even if\ncalled a speed bump because it\u2019s too high, around 1.5 metres. If called\na dyke, it doesn\u2019t look like one because it serves as a main road\naccess,\u201d Andi told Kompas.com on Wednesday (18\/2\/2026).<\/p>",
