30 cm Flooding on Jagorawi Toll Road, Road Sections Can Be Passed with Limitations

JAKARTA - Flooding on the Jagorawi Toll Road went viral on social media on Saturday (21/3/2026). According to the Instagram account @kabarcibubur24jam, the toll road section was inundated with floodwater and battered by rain. As a result, four-wheeled vehicles had to navigate through heavy rain and flooding. Additionally, the post indicated that due to the flooding, the Jagorawi Toll Road around Cibubur was congested in both directions. “Puddles were observed starting at 16.45 WIB. Shortly afterwards, RO1 JMT officers along with Jasamarga Tollroad Maintenance (JMTM) were at the location and carried out initial handling measures and identification of the cause of the puddling,” said Panji Satriya in a written statement on Saturday evening. Panji is the Marketing and Communication Department Head of Jasamarga Metropolitan Tollroad Regional Division. Field observations by officers revealed that the puddling was caused by water volume exceeding the drainage channel capacity due to high inflow rates. Consequently, the water in the channels overflowed and flooded the toll road. Currently, JMTM officers are cleaning rubbish at the drainage locations to accelerate water flow. Meanwhile, Jasamarga Tollroad Operator (JMTO) officers are also regulating traffic at the puddle site. “Currently, the outer shoulder, lane 1, and lane 2 cannot be passed temporarily, while lanes 3 and 4 remain accessible to road users,” said Panji. Furthermore, puddling was also observed at the rest and service area (TIP) or rest area at KM 10 on the Jagorawi Toll Road towards Bogor. “Therefore, at the discretion of the police, starting at 19.30 WIB, the TIP at KM 10 on the Jagorawi Toll Road towards Bogor was temporarily closed until all facilities can operate normally again,” explained Panji. “Jasa Marga apologises for the inconvenience experienced during the handling of the puddling,” added Panji.
