JAKARTA - The incident of the collapse of the Utan suspension bridge in Kemayoran City still leaves a question mark. The main cause of the collapse of the facility is not yet known. However, from the interim investigation, there are strong allegations about what is the main factor.

Head of Public Relations DivHumas Polri Kombes Asep Adi Saputra said that the strong suspicion that the cause of the incident was the detachment of the sling pole from the foundation. Thus, the 40 meter long suspension bridge collapsed.

"Meanwhile, it is suspected that they collapsed because the bridge supporting slings fell off the ground," said Asep in Jakarta, Monday, December 23.

Despite this suspicion, he said, investigations to find the cause of the collapse of the suspension bridge which had only been projected for several days were still underway. Meanwhile, two people have been questioned regarding the incident. They are workers and development planners.

In fact, in order to thoroughly investigate the incident, it is planned that several construction experts will also be involved to find the cause of the collapse of the suspension bridge.

"Of course, from this examination we will work together with experts to conclude what was the main cause of the incident," said Asep.

Previously it was reported, the suspension bridge of Kemayoran City Forest Park collapsed on Sunday, December 22, noon. Although there were no fatalities or injuries in the incident, the impact experienced by the visitors was quite pronounced. Because, they feel afraid of the incident.
