The Jakarta Water Resources Agency (SDA) is building a water channel using the jacking method in Kebayoran Lama Sub-district, South Jakarta.

It aims to minimize flooding on Jalan Ciledug Raya

Its construction starts from Jalan Seskoal intersection via Jalan Ciledug Raya, to Cipulir Market.

"It aims to minimize flooding on Jalan Ciledug Raya," expressed Flood Control and Drainage Representative, Firmansyah Saputra, as quoted by Jakarta Provincial Government, Wednesday (5/29).

According to him, it has been ongoing since May 6, 2024, and is targeted for completion on November 30, 2024. It is conducted in stages, starting from building the Pile Integrated Test (PIT), installing Reinforce Concrete Pipe (RCP) using the jacking method, and working on the manhole.

To support it, the Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) has applied traffic jams at the intersection of Jalan Seskoal to Cipulir Market. Traffic from these two points is diverted via the median road separating the roads or the area under the Transjakarta Corridor 13 flyover.

"I call on road users to avoid the roads and follow the traffic diversion," he stated.
