Previously, Head of the South Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department, Bernard Pasaribu, explained that the project there was the work of the DKI Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Agency. There is a water channel (drainage) that must be repaired so that the PUPR housing complex and the nearby Pondok Indah area are no longer flooded.
“We routinely place Transportation Agency members at the location,” said Bernard Pasaribu detikcom.
Street in front of the bus stop Pinang Cottage It has a total of 6 lanes. Because of a project, the 6 lanes have shrunk to just 2 lanes. If the TransJakarta bus passes, practically only 1 lane can be passed by public transportation.
“This project was completed two weeks ago, but the construction was only last week. Later this afternoon, there will be 2 to 3 lanes that will be passable,” said Bernard Pasaribu.
