        "summary": "The East Jakarta City Government is urgently repairing a collapsed bridge on Jalan Pule in Ciracas following an incident where a truck fell through on 15 April, aiming to strengthen its structure with new concrete reinforcements for safer passage of heavy vehicles. Officials estimate the work will take about one month, during which four-wheeled vehicles are restricted, with motorbikes diverted via alternative routes near the river. This bridge is a vital link between Jalan Raya Centex and Jalan Baru, underscoring the importance of timely infrastructure maintenance to prevent disruptions in local traffic.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The East Jakarta City Government (Pemkot Jaktim),\nthrough the Sub-Directorate of Road Infrastructure, is accelerating\nrepairs to the collapsed bridge on Jalan Pule RW 10, Ciracas, East\nJakarta. \u201cWe are ensuring that the handling of the collapsed bridge on\nJalan Pule, Ciracas, is carried out quickly and thoroughly,\u201d said East\nJakarta Mayor Munjirin when contacted by ANTARA in Jakarta on Friday. He\nmentioned that currently, the Sub-Directorate of Road Infrastructure,\nalong with the Sub-Directorate of Water Resources, is focusing on\nstrengthening the structure, particularly the retaining walls under the\nbridge. \u201cSo, this repair is to make it stronger and safer for vehicles\nto cross in the future, including heavy vehicles,\u201d Munjirin stated.\nMeanwhile, Ciracas Sub-District Head Panangaran Ritonga said the bridge\nrepair process is estimated to take about one month, so that the bridge\nconstruction will be stronger and safer for vehicles, especially\nfour-wheeled ones. \u201cWe target about one month so that in the future it\ncan be crossed by cars again,\u201d Ritonga remarked. During the repair\nperiod, access for four-wheeled vehicles is temporarily closed.\nMotorcycle riders can still pass through the riverbank side that leads\nto the main road near SMPN 171 Rambutan, according to the alternative\nroute directed by officers on site. The condition caused the bridge\u2019s\nsupporting structure to become hollow, unable to withstand the heavy\nload of passing vehicles. \u201cWhen crossed by a truck or heavy load, the\nbridge\u2019s load can no longer be held and it collapses. That\u2019s why the\nretaining walls are first reinforced with new concrete,\u201d Ritonga\nexplained. The bridge repair is being carried out in stages, cleaning up\ndebris before recasting. Officers were seen excavating leftover\nmaterials such as stones and concrete that fell into the waterway under\nthe bridge. The depth of the stream under the bridge is estimated to\nreach two to three metres, with water height around 20 to 30\ncentimetres. Previously, the bridge collapse occurred on Wednesday\nafternoon (15\/4). In a video that went viral on social media Instagram\n<span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"kabarcibubur24jam\">@kabarcibubur24jam<\/span>, a truck was\nseen getting stuck while crossing the bridge. After the incident, local\nresidents immediately closed access to the bridge by installing simple\nbarriers to prevent vehicles from passing. Car drivers were directed to\nturn back, while motorbike riders were diverted to alleys around the\nincident site. The bridge is an important access connecting Jalan Raya\nCentex with Jalan Baru in the Ciracas area.<\/p>",
