The collapsed retaining wall of the Cakung Lama River Connecting Channel on Jalan Batu Tumbuh, RW 03 and 04, Tugu Selatan Urban Village, Koja Sub-district is being repaired.
It is targeted for completion by the end of this October
North Jakarta Water Resources Sub-agency (SDA)'s Field Coordinator, Indra Sanjaya said, the retaining wall was allegedly caused by the bottom of its foundation being eroded by heavy equipment during dredging along Cakung Lama River.

He explained, the retaining wall itself has 70 centimeters wide and 1.6 meters high.
"It is done by installing a new construction. The first stage in RW 04 along 5.5 meters has been completed. Then, the next location will be continued," he explained.
He went on to say that the work has been underway since September 30, 2025, involving eight personnel plus one unit of heavy equipment.
"It is targeted for completion by the end of this October," he explained.
The repair received appreciation from RW 04 Chair, Semper Barat Urban Village, Sarmada.
