JAKARTA - High rainfall since Saturday has again triggered puddles at several points of the Sedyatmo Toll Road, the main access to Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Jasa Marga urges road users, especially prospective aircraft passengers, to anticipate their journey and prepare alternative routes.
Senior Manager Representative Office 2 Jasamarga Metropolitan Tollroad Ginanjar Bekti R said that from the operational report until Sunday morning, January 18, 2026, at 06.45 WIB, the puddle was still occurring at two points, namely the exit access Off Ramp - Toll Gate (GT) Pluit 3 and KM 31+000 A Off Ramp Rawa Bokor.
"Jasa Marga apologizes for this inconvenience," he said in an official statement, Sunday, January 18.
Ginanjar explained that the first puddle was detected at GT Pluit 3 at 04.12 WIB.
Officers immediately ensured that all pumps were working, but the extreme rainfall triggered water runoff from the surrounding settlements so that the toll road channel was unable to withstand the discharge, causing a puddle on the toll road.
At the same time, the overflow of the Perancis River caused a puddle at the exit of Rawa Bokor.
This condition slows down the flow of water out and has an impact on the smoothness of traffic flow around the toll.
Jasa Marga coordinated with the Ciliwung-Cisadane River Basin Agency (BBWS) for further handling.
Ginanjar said Jasa Marga together with Jasamarga Tollroad Operator (JMTO), Jasamarga Tollroad Maintenance (JMTM), and the police continued to work to reduce water discharge and carry out the necessary traffic arrangements.
"Currently, a total of 7 pumps are operating in two locations with an additional 1 mobile pump at the Rawa Bokor access to accelerate the handling of puddles," he said.
With the situation still dynamic, Jasa Marga reminds road users to remain orderly in the queue and follow the instructions of officers in the field.
Including also, rearranging travel, especially those who are going to Soekarno-Hatta Airport.
"If you have an urgent flight schedule, please use other access through JORR 2 or by considering other public transportation modes to go to Soekarno-Hatta Airport," he said.
