Tendean Pedestrian Bridge Demolition Targeted for Completion Tonight

The demolition of the pedestrian footbridge (JPO) on Jalan Kapten Tendean, South Jakarta, which nearly collapsed after being struck by a heavy equipment transport lorry, is still under way. Demolition is proceeding on the Tendean carriageway in the direction from Pancoran towards Blok M.

According to detikcom’s observation at the location on Tuesday (14/7/2026) at 21:15 WIB, the demolition now leaves only the stairs that previously provided access to the footbridge. The stairs have been knocked down.

Because of the demolition, vehicles cannot yet pass from Jalan Kapten Tendean towards Jalan Wolter Monginsidi or Blok M.

The sections of the stairs are being cut into pieces to be loaded onto a number of lorries. The cutting process is still ongoing.

This means Jalan Tendean from Pancoran towards Blok M remains closed. Meanwhile, Jalan Tendean from Blok M towards Tendean has been reopened.

Traffic on Jalan Tendean heading towards Pancoran appears to be flowing smoothly. Vehicles are able to travel at normal speeds.

Head of the South Jakarta Transportation Sub-department (Kasudin Perhubungan), Bernad Octavianus Pasaribu, said the footbridge demolition is targeted to be completed tonight.

“Because there are still many members of the public watching or standing too close, and heavy equipment is still on site, we cannot yet estimate. But the estimate is that it must definitely be finished tonight,” Bernad said when met at the location.

Previously, the footbridge on Jalan Kapten Tendean, South Jakarta, nearly collapsed after being struck by a heavy equipment transport lorry that failed to pass under it in the early hours of this morning. The footbridge can no longer be used because it is on the verge of collapse.

The DKI provincial government began demolishing the footbridge at around 10:50 WIB. The demolition process has forced the temporary closure of Jalan Tendean, with traffic diverted.
