Therefore, roads can return to full operation and traffic flow is ensured to be normal as usual.

To avoid similar incidents in the future, Jasa Marga will conduct an evaluation with related parties in order to determine preventive measures.

"Jasa Marga will coordinate with the DKI Jakarta Government, the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of PUPR, and other stakeholders to conduct evaluations to ensure preventive measures so that similar incidents do not happen again," said Senior General Manager of the Jasamarga Metropolitan Tollroad Regional Division, Widiyatmiko Nursejati, in a written statement, Saturday, March 23, 2024.

He assessed the preventive measures to be taken, for example ensuring the readiness and condition of the pump, increasing coordination with DKI Jakarta pump officers during high rainfall, and ensuring that the waste water channel is in good condition.

"Currently, the Sedyatmo Toll Road has returned to normal and can operate fully," he said.

Although it was observed that the inundation had receded at all points of the Sedyatmo Toll Road, Jasa Marga will continue to monitor until Kamal's surface level returns to normal.

"Jasa Marga apologizes for the inconvenience of road users during the previous handling of inundation," he said.
