Drainage Development and Improvement Division Head, Tengku Saug i Zikri admitted, the development was delayed, because of frequent heavy rains and utility cables at the work site.

"The work process just connects crossing with channel on Jalan I Gusti Ngurah Rai. There are six meters at two crossing points that must be completed to be connected with channel on Jalan I Gusti Ngurah Rai," he explained, after the monitoring meeting and evaluation led by Economic and Development Division Assistant, Kusmanto at East Jakarta Mayor Office, Friday (1/7).

Starting at 9 PM, he added, two regular lanes of Jalan I Gusti Ngurah Rai would be reopened for vehicles. Afterwards, it would be continued with closure of Transjakarta bus lane due to continued work connecting crossing with channel on Jalan I Gusti Ngurah Rai.

"It is done to smoothen the making of connecting crossings to channel, which is targeted to be complete on Tuesday (1/11)," he added.

By so, on Wednesday (1/12) morning, Transjakarta and regular lanes at this location could be reopened, thus traffic flows normally as usual.
