2 Bridges on Jalan Danau Sunter Collapsed

Residents living in Sunter Agung Urban Village, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, are requesting the North Jakarta Road Public Works Sub-Department to immediately repair the two collapsed bridges on Jalan Danau Sunter. This is because its condition is very worrying.

The collapsed bridge already entered in the auction stage. Then another one is still being coordinated with planning section for repair. Hopefully, all could be done this year

As for the other bridges near the Shell Gas Station (SPBU), its frame already bent. This causes roads in the bridge hollowed.
