Section of Jalan Assirot in West Jakarta Collapses, Creating Deep Hole

A section of road on Jalan Assirot in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, collapsed and the incident went viral on social media. Officers are currently repairing the collapsed road.

In a viral video, the collapsed section of Jalan Assirot appeared to be quite deep. The video also noted that there had previously been some excavation work on the road.

Based on observations at the location on Tuesday (7/7/2026), officers were seen repairing the collapsed road. The diameter of the hole had been enlarged to approximately 5 meters. Heavy equipment, including an excavator, was parked at the site.

The area around the repair work has been cordoned off, closing one lane of the road. Vehicles are still able to pass by using the remaining lane alternately. Despite the closure, the traffic queue in the area was not excessively long.

A signboard at the location read, “We apologise, drainage work is in progress.” The officers on site were from the West Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency and the Bina Marga Sub-agency. They were also observed managing the traffic flow around the repair site.

For context, a portion of Jalan Assirot also falls within the South Jakarta administrative area. However, the section of the road that collapsed is located in West Jakarta.
