The West Jakarta Water Resources Sub-agency has conducted monitoring of drainage crossings at 12 road locations across eight sub-districts.

West Jakarta Water Resources Sub-agency Head, Mustajab noted that the monitoring was conducted to guarantee the absence of defects that might lead to road cave-ins, as previously seen on Jalan Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta.

"Our team conducted field assessments last week, covering a total of 12 drainage crossings," he expressed, Monday (6/8).

Those 12 drainage crossings are located on Jalan Raya Puri, Jalan Kembangan Raya, and Jalan Ringroad within Kembangan Sub-district, as well as Jalan Kapuk Kamal Raya and Jalan Benda in Kalideres Sub-district.

Other locations include Jalan Panjang and both North and South Arjuna roads in Kebon Jeruk Sub-district, followed by Jalan Kyai Tapa and Jalan Latumenten in Grogol Petamburan Sub-district. Further, single crossing points were checked on Jalan Daan Mogot (Cengkareng), Jalan Kemanggisan (Palmerah), and Jalan Tubagus Angke (Tambora).

"Overall, we can ensure that the Armco structures across all crossings are in a relatively secure condition, with no defects identified that might lead to road cave-ins," he noted.

Separately, West Jakarta Bina Marga Sub-agency Head, Abu Abdul Jabbar added that his team has also carried out assessments at various sites across the West Jakarta area.

As of now, there are no road locations in West Jakarta identified as prone to subsidence.

"Based on the monitoring conducted by our personnel, the road points in West Jakarta remain relatively safe from the risk of cave-ins," he asserted.
