The repairs involved diverse methods: 134 spots (5,446 sqm) were fixed using quick-patch coldmix and hotmix asphalt, while nine locations (33 sqm) were reinforced with concrete, and 16 others (1,421 sqm) underwent scraping.

He added that the repairs spanned everything from neighborhood lanes to major arterial, collector, and local roads.

"The damage is driven by several factors, including the age of the roads, intense rainfall, standing water, and the heavy burden of high-tonnage vehicles," he explained.

So, he hoped that these repairs would boost infrastructure standards and provide a safer, smoother, and more convenient commute for Central Jakarta people.
