JAKARTA - Kalibaru Embankment on Jalan Raya Bogor, Central Kelurahan, Kramat Jati District, East Jakarta, broke again, Wednesday, April 3. As a result, the flow of water in Kalibaru overflowed and overflowed onto the Hek T-junction Road, Jalan Raya Bogor, Kramat Jati.

The impact of the flood also caused long traffic jams, both from Kramat Jati to Pasar Rebo and vice versa and from Tamini Square to Dukuh Village. In fact, the flood seemed as high as an adult's calf that caused a number of vehicles to strike.

East Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-department, Sanchez, said that the overflow of Kalibaru Hek had occurred again due to the even rain that hit Jabodetabek since Wednesday afternoon.

"Even though it has been elevated by using sack gabions filled with sand on the outskirts of the river, the water still overflows and the water runoff inundates this Hek T-junction," he said.

Currently, joint SDA officers, PPSU, police and TNI are deployed to deal with runoff at the T-junction. Officers then raised the height of the New River with sandbags to prevent water runoff from continuing to flow through the road.
