Damaged road

From Jayakarta

I, together with thousands of other road users, deplore the extremely bad condition of Jl. Raya Bogor. The holes that are gaping on the Kramat Jati section of the road are a real nuisance to motorists. Potholes are also found on other sections of the road. Some of the potholes are deep enough to damage vehicles. The horrible condition of the road makes traffic jams unavoidable.

The damage at the Lapan and Cibubur intersections is bad enough to make the vehicles veer to the left and to the right. Farther south, the road is so bumpy that it causes passengers to feel nauseous. The most dangerous is the Pasar Cisalak section. Drivers must be extremely careful if they do not want their cars to overturn. The remainder of the road is by no means better.

I request that the Public Works Minister inspect the road.
