GROBOGAN - Until the third day the subsidence of the railroad crossing due to flooding in Grobogan, Central Java, the repairs continued to be accelerated. PT KAI deployed hundreds of workers who were expected to process the Semarang-Surabaya crossing via Grobogan to be handled immediately. It is targeted that today the railway line can be traversed by one route.

It can be seen that a number of workers are still speeding up the repair of the railway line which has collapsed by the river runoff in Papanrejo Village, Gubug District, Grobogan Regency, Central Java on Thursday, January 23.

Public Relations of PT KAI Daop IV Semarang, Franoto Wibowo said, in this repair, his party maximized the day and night by involving hundreds of infrastructure officers from PT KAI and external assistance.

"Hundreds of infrastructure officers from KAI Daop IV Semarang with external assistance personnel were deployed to deal with the conditions due to the overflow of water at kilometer 32+5/7," said Franoto, Thursday (23/1/2025) regarding the repair of the railway line which collapsed due to the Grobogan flood.

According to him, the repair on the previous day was arranged for wooden and iron blocks for railroad crossings that transport raw soil materials and cryicak stones. So far, about 3,800 cubic meters of cryik rock have been repaired.

"Also, approximately 3,800 cubic meters of cryicak filling or retailing has been carried out, we also install iron coating so that conditions at the location can be passed by trains," he explained.

His party targets that today one route can be passed at a limited speed. However, the repair depends on the favorable weather conditions.

"Today's estimate is that one route, namely the upstream route, can be passed at a limited speed. Hopefully it won't rain first," he explained about repairing the collapsed train line due to the Grobogan flood.

As a result of this Grobogan flood, train trips still have to be turned or diverted through the southern route via Solo.
