"This bridge is an alternative route to avoid traffic jams on Jalan Raya Cilangkap," he said.
DPRD's Commission D Secretary, the repair is a follow-up to people's aspirations through the council members' recess. He appreciated the East Jakarta administration that had realized it.
"Finally it's come true. This bridge can still be passable by vehicles, even though the surrounding area is flooded considering the position is higher," he stated.

RW Cilangkap LMK, Dwi Hartanti added, residents really appreciate the completion of the repair, as now they feel safe to cross the bridge when it rains, moreover it is not disturbed by the flooding from the overflowing Cilangkap Phb.
"Thank you. Locals here have been waiting for this bridge to be repaired for a long time," she said.
