JAKARTA The section of Jalan RE Martadinata, Tanjung Priok District, North Jakarta, was again hit by tidal flooding on Tuesday afternoon, October 7, 2025. The puddle came from the overflow of the Ancol River which was located beside the road, overflowing to the road.
As a result, the 150-meter-long section of Jalan RE Martadinata to the highway opposite the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) is difficult for vehicles to pass.
A number of motorcyclists, cars, and trucks were forced to break through the puddles. They drove slowly on the left side of the road because the water on that part was shallower, about 5 8 centimeters. While on the right side, the lower contours made the puddles reach about 10 centimeters. The tidal water was also seen starting to overflow onto the railroad tracks in front of JIS.

The train doorkeeper seemed busy cleaning the water so that the puddles would not spread further.
Head of the Drainage Maintenance Section of the North Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-dept., Yudo Widi Harnoto, said that his party had deployed 10 personnel to install portable pumps at the location.
"We deployed 10 personnel to install mobile pumps. Indeed, this time the tide is classified as extreme tides, which lasts about three hours," said Yudo when contacted by VOI, Tuesday (7/10).
In addition to using mobile pumps, tidal puddles are also channeled to drainage channels around the location.
"The channel in the railroad area is connected to a BMW stationary pump which has a capacity of 3 cubic meters per second, so the inundation can recede quickly," he added.
