Cisumdawu Toll Road Crack, Traffic Remains Safe and Controlled

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Ministry of Public Works (PU) has assured that the handling of the crack on the Cisumdawu Toll Road at KM 207+350, Lane A (towards Dawuan), has been carried out swiftly and is now under technical control. As a result, traffic conditions remain safe and managed.

Based on monitoring results on Friday (27/3/2026), a crack approximately 100 metres long was identified, with a crown-like pattern approaching the boundary of the second lane.

The condition is being intensively monitored to ensure the safety of road users.

As an initial handling step, officers have installed warning signs around the location, regulated traffic to one lane, limited vehicle speeds, and filled the crack with concrete while covering the area with tarpaulin to prevent water ingress.

“Connectivity must be maintained, but the utmost priority is the safety of road users. Therefore, handling is carried out swiftly while upholding the principle of caution,” said Dody, quoted from a press release on Saturday (28/9/2026).

The Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of PU, Wilan Oktavian, stated that the toll section can still be traversed with limited lane arrangements.

“From a safety perspective, the toll section can still be passed with limited traffic lane arrangements, and all handling steps are carried out prioritising the principle of caution,” he added.

For permanent handling, the Ministry of PU, together with the Toll Road Business Entity (BUJT) PT Citra Karya Jabar Tol (CKJT), is conducting a comprehensive technical study.

The study includes topographic measurements, soil investigations, installation and reading of inclinometer instruments, and geotechnical analysis to determine the appropriate reinforcement method.

Currently, three units of ground movement monitoring devices (inclinometers) have been installed at the site.

Initial monitoring results indicate ground movement, which serves as the basis for determining further handling steps.

The permanent handling is planned to use the bore pile method over approximately 100 metres, with the design completion targeted for the end of April 2026.

The Ministry of PU urges road users to remain calm, obey traffic signs, follow instructions from on-site officers, and adhere to official government information.
