We make the crossing first at Jalan Veteran III using a box culvert measuring 80x80x100 centimeters

Maintenance Division Head, Achmad Daeroby said, it was carried out as the channel located on the pedestrian lane was broken.

"We make the crossing first at Jalan Veteran III using a box culvert measuring 80x80x100 centimeters," he expressed, Wednesday (12/29).

Then it continued with the construction of a water channel with 60 centimeters width, an upstream as high as 80 centimeters and a downstream as high as 120 centimeters that is carried out manually.

"We do not use the u-ditch due to utility cables, so we do it by installing river stone sheeting on both sides and cast slup," he explained.

It carried out through 14 personnel plus one mini excavator. Actually, it has been ongoing since December 20 and is targeted to be completed by the end of January 2022. Thus far, it has touched 10 percent.

"It is expected to smoothen water flow and minimize flooding at the location," he hoped.
