JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono revealed one obstacle in the coastal embankment construction program on the coast of Jakarta in the work section of the DKI Provincial Government.
The difficult thing is to build embankments in the Muara Angke area with a total route length of 5.2 kilometers. As of December 2022, the DKI Provincial Government has completed the construction of a 1.8-kilometer embankment.
Meanwhile, there are still 3.4 kilometers of trace that have not been built in the Muara Angke area. The problem is, the DKI Provincial Government must carry out land acquisition in a residential area of 4.4 hectares so that the continuation of the embankment construction can be realized.
Heru hopes that the public can compromise and approve the land acquisition. Heru conveyed this when he visited the embankment in Kalibaru Village, Cilincing, North Jakarta.
"In the place we are standing, Kalibaru, it will be 3.5 kilometers and will continue later. There are several difficult spots, such as in Muara Angke. We will discuss it with the community later," said Heru, Friday, January 20.
The continuation of the construction of the 3.4-kilometer embankment in Muara Angke starts this year and is targeted for completion in 2026. The estimated budget needed for its construction is IDR 671 billion.
Meanwhile, in the review of the embankment in Kalibaru whose work has been completed, Heru has a number of notes that need to be evaluated.
From his review, Heru said the Kalibaru embankment still had to be paired with a safety analysis or disappearance. In addition, the fish auction area on the edge of the embankment still needs to be fixed.
"First, there is still a disappearance, then the fish auction, later it must be repaired," said Heru.
In addition, Heru also highlighted the mini polder as part of the embankment which is located close to residents' houses. Heru reminded the mini polder not to be disturbed when operating.
"Earlier there was a water parking lot that had to be perfected, a mini polder. Once again, the mini polder is for water reservoirs, the left is still a building. Please keep the mini polder from being added," said Heru.
To note, the total length of the route from the coastal safety embankment that enters phase A of NCICD is 46 kilometers. Of these, 13 kilometers have been built and 33 kilometers have not been built.
Of the number that has not been built, the 11 kilometers will be the duty of the Ministry of PUPR and 22 kilometers will be the duty of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and Pelindo. The DKI Provincial Government targets the completion of the coastal embankment in 2027.
