BOGOR - The Cikereteg Bridge located on Jalan Raya Bogor Ciawi-Sukabumi, Caringin, Bogor Regency, West Java, has again collapsed. The traffic flow from Bogor to Bogor and vice versa was disrupted. Based on information compiled by the landslide incident occurred on Monday 27 February at 11.00 WIB. Now, all vehicles, both two-wheeled, four-wheeled and the rest, are prohibited from crossing the bridge. The traffic flow of vehicles through the national road was completely diverted through alternative routes, while for the Bogimi Toll Road it could be traversed. Head of Turjawali Traffic Bogor Police, Ipda Ardian when confirmed, said that the traffic flow closure of the vehicle was carried out to anticipate things that were not desirable. "The origin is that the soil under the bridge was prone. Especially when it rained," he said, Monday afternoon. Rainfallfall that occurred from late afternoon until yesterday caused a subsequent landslide. Ciketeg Bridge located on Jalan Raya Bogor Ciawi-Sukabumi, Caringin, Bogor Regency, West Java, collapsed due to heavy rain. The avalanche then eroded the ground so that cracks occurred on the bridge. "The situation is prone if two-wheeled vehicles, four-wheeled and six-wheeled vehicles are crossed due to aftershocks due to daily rainy weather in the region," he said.

Ardian said that the closure of the national road is planned to be enforced for up to 14 days. After that, a steel frame or bailey bridge will be installed. This steel frame bridge is installed for emergency handling and can only be passed by four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles. "Meanwhile, the flow of Bogor vehicles to Sukabumi and vice versa through national roads we divert through alternative routes. As for the Bocimi Toll Road is safe and feasible to pass," added Adrian
