JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will build a mitigation embankment to prevent tidal flooding in Jakarta. Secretary of the DKI Jakarta Water Resources Service (SDA) Hendri said the increase in embankments of up to 2.5 meters would begin at Muara Angke.
"For the elevation of the existing embankment, it is planned to be carried out at Jalan Dermaga Ujung I, Muara Angke, North Jakarta. The elevation of the embankment will be as high as 2.5 meters with a length of approximately 1 kilometer," Hendri told reporters, Monday, April 21.
In its planning, the construction of the embankment at higher Muara Angke is still in the coordination stage with relevant stakeholders.
In addition to Muara Angke, the construction of mitigation embankments will also be carried out at several points using different work methods and materials, according to conditions in each location.
The details are embedding the embankment with a shortcut/reton shooting method in Muara Baru, the construction of a concrete embankment in Sunda Kelapa, the patching of sheetpile leaks in Ancol Hilir or Jalan RE Martadinata, as well as the construction of in-and-out access embankments (geobags) at Baywalk Pluit and Marunda Pulo.
"The embankment with the geobag on the Baywalk Pluit and also Marunda Pulo was built in March 2025 yesterday," said Hendri.
According to Hendri, the mitigation embankment is a short-term effort to anticipate tidal flooding, while waiting for the construction of the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) coastal embankment or Coastal Integrated Development of the State Capital (PTPIN) which is planned to be completed by 2030.
