North Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency dredged Bisma Raya Connecting (Phb) Channel on Jalan Bisma Raya, RW 19, Sunter Agung Urban Village, Tanjung Priok Sub-district.

It is targeted to be completed in November

Tanjung Priok Sub-district SDA Unit Head, Deny Tri Hendiarto stated, this connecting channel has length of 507 meters and width of 4 meters.

"It's depth is actually 2 meters. But it is silting due to mud sedimentation with thickness around 70 centimeters," he said, Wednesday (10/27).

According to him, dredging work on Bisma Raya Phb Channel has been carried out since October 2021 by deploying 1 excavator and 3 dump trucks.

"It is targeted to be completed in November. Hopefully, this mud dredging can optimize water flow to Sunter Utara Reservoir. Thus it can prevent inundation or flood," he conveyed.
