Jakarta (ANTARA) - Some residents have complained about the damage to\nthe Kramat Cipayung road in Setu sub-district, Cipayung district, East\nJakarta, which has developed cracks and subsided.<\/p>\n
One resident, Suprianto (42), said that the damage did not occur\nsuddenly, but started with small cracks that had been visible before and\ncontinued to widen until the road became cracked and subsided.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has been happening for about a week now. At first, there were\ncracks here, so slowly the cracks widened, resulting in the current\ncondition of the road,\u201d he said in Jakarta, Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to him, the road is one of the main alternative routes\nconnecting East Jakarta with Bekasi, West Java. Therefore, the intensity\nof vehicles passing through is quite high, especially during rush\nhour.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore or less, the worst is in the morning and afternoon. So, the\nactivities of workers are hampered because this road is in a position as\na main alternative route to Bekasi and East Jakarta,\u201d explained\nSuprianto.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if any officers have come or not, but the district\nofficials may have already done some monitoring,\u201d said Suprianto.<\/p>\n
A similar statement was made by another resident, Ezza (29). Ezza\nsaid that the condition of the cracked and uneven road is slowing down\ntraffic flow.<\/p>\n
Moreover, in the afternoon, the congestion is said to be getting\nworse because many vehicles have to reduce speed when passing through\nthe damaged area.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the afternoon during rush hour or in the morning, it\u2019s very busy,\nso traffic is congested,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Although there have been no reports of casualties, he admitted that\nthe road damage is quite risky for drivers, especially at night when\nlighting is limited.<\/p>\n
\u201cFortunately, as far as I know, there have been no victims falling.\nUsually, vehicles that are not careful will hit the bottom part of the\nvehicle, especially at night. The later it gets, the more congested it\nis,\u201d explained Ezza.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hope as the general public is that it will be repaired as soon\nas possible because this is a public facility, and Eid al-Fitr is coming\nup. Also, this is an alternative road, so it shouldn\u2019t disrupt the\nactivities of local residents,\u201d said Ezza.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/residents-complain-about-cracked-road-in-kramat-cipayung-1772084322", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
