        "summary": "Motorists in North Jakarta have criticised the temporary asphalt patching on the Marunda Access Bridge in Cilincing, describing it as uneven and wavy, which causes jolts to vehicles and poses safety risks. They urge for a more comprehensive repair, such as full concrete reconstruction, to prevent accidents, especially given the heavy truck traffic on the route. The repairs, observed as small potholes from concrete cracks with scattered debris, were likely expedited during the quieter pre-Eid period to minimise disruption.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The patching repairs to damaged roads on the\nMarunda Access Bridge in Cilincing, North Jakarta, have been deemed to\nresult in a wavy road surface.<\/p>\n<p>One motorist, Nurmansyah (43), stated that the asphalt patches at\nseveral points are uneven, causing jolts to vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe patching result is not level, so it\u2019s wavy. If a motorbike is\ngoing at a reasonable speed, it jolts quite a bit when hitting it,\u201d he\nsaid when interviewed by Kompas.com on Wednesday (29\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the pre-Eid period being quiet, if there were full road\nrepairs, the traffic impact wouldn\u2019t be significant,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>However, the repairs carried out so far have only involved patching\nas a temporary measure.<\/p>\n<p>Another motorist, Aby (35), also assessed the road patching in the\narea as untidy and leaving parts of the road that could be\nhazardous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is, the patching is kind of untidy and actually makes\nthe road surface wavy. Also, I noticed that between the concrete\nsections on the road, some parts haven\u2019t been patched yet, so it\u2019s still\ndangerous,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He hopes for more thorough road repairs to avoid triggering\naccidents, considering that the route is also traversed by many\ntrucks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I want it tidied up so there are no more accidents. It\u2019s\ndangerous, this route. Actually, it should be fully concreted again, not\njust patched with asphalt,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Based on Kompas.com\u2019s observations at the site, damage is visible at\nseveral points on the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>Most consist of small holes due to cracks in the road concrete.<\/p>\n<p>Around these holes, small stones are also scattered.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are several points with quite severe damage.<\/p>",
