Cipayung Highway Repairs in Depok Set for Completion by October 2026 with Rp 1.7 Billion Budget
The Depok City Government aims to complete the repair of the Cipayung Highway section in Cipayung, Depok, by October 2026. A budget of Rp 1.7 billion has been allocated for the project.
The Head of the Depok City Public Works and Spatial Planning Department (DPUPR), Yodi Joko Bintoro, stated that this work is a continuation of the Cipayung-Pitara road arrangement initiated in 2025. The current focus of the work includes the installation of sheet piles and the widening of the roadbed.
“For the road widening, we are using a concreting method, while the reinforcement of the river wall involves using sheet piles or driven retaining walls and revetments,” said Yuppy, as reported on the Depok City Government website on Tuesday (1/9/2026).
Yodi mentioned that the work commenced on 9 July 2026 and is targeted for completion by 6 October 2026. The project is expected to last approximately three months with a contract value of Rp 1.7 billion.
“Regarding the technical aspects, we are installing 76 sheet piles, each 15 metres high, along the river wall. Once the soil retaining structure is in place, the roadbed will be widened by 2 metres,” he added.
Currently, officers are conducting land preparation before the sheet pile driving begins. This stage is being carried out to ensure that the work proceeds according to the established plan and targets.
Yodi expressed hope that the entire series of works would proceed smoothly until completion. He also urged the public, particularly users of the Cipayung-Pitara road, to remain cautious while the work is ongoing.
“We advise road users to remain careful and obey traffic instructions around the construction site. We also apologise for any inconvenience caused; this work is being carried out for the benefit and safety of all parties,” he stated.
Temporary Closure until 18 September
The road closure specifically spans from the front of the Green Pitara Housing Estate to the Serong Bridge. The closure is in effect from 27 August until 18 September 2026.
He explained that vehicles travelling from the Jalan Kali Licin direction towards Jalan Raya Cipayung are being diverted via Jalan Mandor Ancol, Jalan Raya Gardu, Jalan Raya Keadilan, and Jalan Jembatan Serong. From there, vehicles can proceed to Jalan Raya Cipayung towards Cipayung and Citayam.
“For vehicles from the Jalan Raya Cipayung direction towards Depok, they are being diverted via Jalan Jembatan Serong, Jalan Raya Keadilan, Jalan Raya Gardu, and Jalan Mandor Ancol, towards Jalan Raya Kali Licin and the UKI intersection towards Depok,” he said.
