Local residents, including 58-year-old Kasiyah, reported that the road showed signs of damage from the morning but worsened dramatically by evening, exacerbated by heavy rain, with prior potholes contributing to the failure.

Kasiyah (58), a resident of RT 11\/RW 03 Pulogadung, stated that\nthe road damage was visible from the morning but worsened in the\nafternoon and evening. \u201cFrom Saturday morning, 21 March 2026, cars,\nojeks, and motorbikes could still pass. Then in the afternoon, it\nstarted cracking, and by evening, it had collapsed and become\nimpassable. They marked it and put up barriers,\u201d said Kasiyah when met\non Thursday. She also mentioned that the underside of the road had\npotholes before the collapse. \u201cThe bottom had holes that were already\nbreaking apart.

Kasiyah added that several residents\nhave complained about the condition because repairs have not been\ncarried out adequately. \u201cYes, people went to the kelurahan, those in\nblue uniforms and orange uniforms came in the evening, and this\nafternoon they all came to check,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
