The high intensity of rain caused the river water discharge to overflow, causing the bridge in Tajur Village, Citeureup District, to collapse on Thursday, February 27. The access road in the surrounding village was cut off.

The road connected to the bridge has also become impassable, causing disturbances for residents who usually use the route for daily activities, such as work, school, and trading. Head of Emergency and Logistics Division of the Bogor Regency BPBD, M. Adam Hamdani, said that the Bogor Regency BPBD immediately dispatched a team to the location to secure the affected area and conduct an assessment of the condition of the bridge and its surroundings.

The BPBD Rapid Response Team was deployed to install a dividing line or danger line around the scene. This step aims to prevent residents from crossing in vulnerable areas and potentially endanger safety.

"We from BPBD immediately moved to the location in Tajur Village, Citeureup District. The team assigned to carry out an initial assessment of the impact of the damage and install a barrier line around the collapsed bridge," said Adam.

Furthermore, Adam added that BPBD is currently coordinating with local officials, including village and sub-district governments, as well as related agencies to prepare further handling plans.

In addition, his party will also conduct an in-depth analysis of the main cause of the collapse of the bridge to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Adam also appealed to the public not to pass the route for a while until there is official information regarding steps to improve and alternative path solutions to be provided.

He emphasized the importance of vigilance, especially in the midst of the rainy season which has the potential to cause similar disasters in other areas.

The Bogor Regency Government is committed to immediately following up on the repair of this bridge so that the mobility of residents returns to normal and daily activities are not disrupted. Affected residents are expected to remain patient and follow directions from officers in the field for the sake of mutual safety.

Meanwhile, the BPBD team will continue to monitor the development of the situation at the location and provide up-to-date information regarding the steps to be taken to overcome the impact of this incident.
