JAKARTA - The Kebayoran Lama Skywalk feels happy to be passed by many people. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government argued that the skywalk was deliberately designed for elastic purposes.

"The bridge is designed not to be stiff and must be elastic," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Highways Agency Hari Nugroho in a short message, Saturday, January 28.

The shock at the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk was felt during the inauguration process by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono and his entourage on Friday, January 27.

Although it feels good, there is no doubt about the security element. Because, there is no potential for damage to these conditions.

"Secara keamanan, jembatan tersebut sangat aman. Namun memang saat pemisihan sekali penuh, sehingga ada goyangan yang terasa," sebut Hari.

Not wanting to cause public concern, Hari said that his party would increase the resistance to shocks on the surface of the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk. So, everything will be ensured safe.

"In the future, we will increase the strengthening to increase comfort and reduce the wobbling," said Hari

Meanwhile, Heru inaugurated the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk. The inauguration of the flyover connecting the three modes of transportation was postponed several times.

The initial plan, the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk was inaugurated on January 17, then postponed to January 19, postponed to January 24, until it was realized on January 27.

The Kebayoran Lama Skywalk is 452 meters long. This Skywalk was built to integrate and facilitate pedestrian access to the Transjakarta Velbak Bus Stop (koridor 13), Kebayoran Lama Transjakarta Bus Stop (koridor 8), and Kebayoran Lama KRL Station.

This bridge has three elevators with a capacity of 8 to 9 people each, as well as 10 CCTV units inside the bridge area and 3 CCTV in the outside area. In the evening, the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk was illuminated by 215 LED lights and lighting for internal lighting.
