South Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency repaired Baru River's retaining wall near Tapal Kuda Flyover on Lenteng Agung Urban Village, Jagakarsa, South Jakarta.

South Jakarta SDA Sub-agency Head, Mustajab conveyed, retaining wall with length more than 400 meters, height 1.8-4 meters, and width 4 meters needed to be repaired because it was brittle and prone to collapse.

"We repair it because some parts have been collapsed due to age," he mentioned, Wednesday (12/2).

Retaining wall repair had been carried out since September 27 which involved 25 personnel from South Jakarta SDA Sub-agency. This repair was targeted to finish in mid of December.

"So far we have repaired about 300 meters," he added.

After being repaired, he hopes it won't collapse easily when heavy rain falls. Thus water can flow smoothly and doesn't overflow onto the road.

"Hopefully Baru River will no longer overflow thus road will not be i nundated," he said.
