According to him, it would be done every day from 8 AM to 8 PM because the work was done using a jacking system so it would not disturb traffic too much.

To anticipate it, the road will be widened at the four excavation points to provide space for vehicles to pass.

"Those points will be layered with scrabe or used asphalt," he expressed.

Cibubur Urban Village Acting Head, Roni Abdullah added it would be done after his party, together with the related regional government organizations (OPD), held socialization to the community, especially residents affected by this channel construction project.

"As a result of socialization, all the people are supportive because they have been waiting for the construction of the water channel in Jalan Jamboree. Because every time it rains heavily, it is always flooded as high as 50 - 80 centimeters," he explained.

During the work, he urged locals, especially the motorists, to find alternative lanes to avoid traffic jams.

"They should avoid Jalan Raya Jamboree and look for alternative routes to avoid traffic jams," he stated,
