North Jakarta Bina Marga Sub-agency Acting Head, Hananto Krisnawardono said, repairing damaged roads is a routine agenda to provide safety and comfort for the community, especially for drivers.

"This follows up on residents' aspirations reported through the JAKI application and the results of field officers' monitoring," he expressed, Monday (10/13).

He detailed, the roads that have been repaired in January 2025 totaled 1,451 points covering an area of approximately 5,940.762 square meters; in February, there were 1,375 points with a total area of 2,444.285 square meters; and in March, only 454 points covering 722.9 square meters.

Then, in April, there were 1,066 points covering 5,631.17 square meters; in May, there were 1,292 points with a total area of 23,820.425 square meters; and in June, there were 1,466 points covering 18,133.95 square meters.

In every repair, his party used quick patching with the coldmix method. Meanwhile, for moderate and severe damage, hotmix was used for patching.

He added, the damage is mostly caused by age, heavy rainfall, high-tonnage vehicles, and construction excavations, resulting in many small potholes.

He hoped that this could prevent potential accidents, and passing drivers would feel more safe and comfortable.

"As residents, we will certainly help maintain what has been fixed by the officers," he said.
