JAKARTA The road asphalt damage on Jalan Daan Mogot, precisely near the Kali Mati Crossing Bridge (JPO), Kedaung, Kali Angke was caused by rainwater. This was conveyed by the Head of the West Jakarta Water Resources Sub-dept. (SDA Sub-Department), Purwanti Suryandari.
"There was a 'jacking' process there because of the continuous rain in the last few days. So, the water was eroded and then landslides," said Purwanti, quoting Antara, Monday, March 13.
Jacking itself is a method of installing pipes by drilling the ground beneath the road using a hydraulic engine.
Purwanti admitted that at that location, eight meters of land drilling was being carried out to enter the water channel pipe.
Asphalt near the drilling site is often hit by rainwater, causing asphalt to landslide.
Until now, the process of repairing the hole is being carried out by the Water Resources Sub-dept.
West Jakarta Transportation Sub-department officers are also at the location to regulate traffic so as not to cause excessive traffic jams.
Purwanti ensured that permanent repairs would be made by the contractors tonight.
"The work will start tonight because now it will be hampered by traffic jams. God willing, tomorrow it will be finished," he said.
Seen at the location, the asphalt hole is two meters wide. The depth of the hole itself is estimated at 2.5 meters.
As a result of this incident, the traffic flow from Pesing to Cengkareng stalled.
