        "summary": "The Marunda pedestrian bridge in North Jakarta has suffered repeated damage from collisions with heavy container trucks, most recently in March 2026, leading to a disabled lift and shattered glass in the lobby. Despite costing around Rp 15.5 billion to build in late 2023, the facility has been hit multiple times, including in 2024, with repairs previously covered by the responsible trucking company to avoid costs for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. This ongoing issue highlights vulnerabilities in urban infrastructure along arterial routes with heavy traffic, prompting reports to the DKI Jakarta Public Works Department for necessary fixes.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2014 The Marunda Pedestrian Bridge (JPO) in North Jakarta has\nonce again been damaged after being struck by a heavy vehicle. Located\non an arterial route with container truck traffic, this facility, built\nwith a budget of billions of rupiah, has been recorded as damaged\nrepeatedly, including in 2024 and again in 2026. At the end of 2023,\nwhen the JPO was newly constructed with funds of around Rp 15.5 billion,\nthe facility was damaged after being hit by a container truck on\nSaturday morning (6\/4\/2024). The incident caused one lift lobby to be\ndamaged, the roof to sag though not collapse, and the lift-side lobby\nglass to crack. Additionally, the road barriers and JPO fencing were\nalso destroyed due to the container impact. However, the repairs at that\ntime were covered by the trucking company that caused the collision, so\nthe DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov DKI) did not incur costs.\nThe shattered glass was covered with a white banner reading \u201cSorry,\nunder repair\u201d. Marunda JPO Lift Operator Muhammad Taufat (49) said the\nlift lobby glass breakage was caused by a container truck attempting to\nturn around. \u201cIt was because the container was turning around. So, the\ncontainer turned around too close to the pavement, so its tail hit (the\nglass),\u201d Taufat told Kompas.com at the location on Thursday (23\/4\/2026).\nThe incident occurred in March 2026. Taufat said he had reported the\ndamaged bridge condition to the DKI Jakarta Public Works Department.\n\u201cThe damage has been since last Ramadan. Hit by rain splashes. If\nthere\u2019s heavy rain, windy rain, it definitely errors because it mostly\nuses sensors,\u201d Taufat added. The lift was actually repaired by Public\nWorks officers but has broken again and cannot be used until now. Head\nof Data and Information Centre of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Public\nWorks Department Siti Dinarwenny said the deactivation of the Marunda\nJPO lift was due to an accident. \u201cRegarding the condition of the Marunda\nJPO lift, we can state that the lift facility has been temporarily\ndeactivated due to damage caused by a collision with a large-sized load\nvehicle, which occurred when the vehicle turned around not in the proper\nlocation,\u201d she stated in a written explanation received by Kompas.com on\nThursday.<\/p>",
