The North Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency has started upgrading the channel crossing capacity on Jalan Biola, RW 06, Pegangsaan Dua Urban Village, Kelapa Gading Sub-district.

It is targeted for completion by early September 2022

Kelapa Gading Sub-district SDA Executing Unit Head Citrin Indarwati said that the upgrading work was to follow up on the recess of Jakarta DPRD members. Previously, the area was often inundated during heavy rains.
