Based on field observations on Tuesday (10/14), the bridge located directly in front of Kramat Jati Market has now been fully repaired. No more holes were found on the floor or stairs.
The Jakarta Public Works Agency had completed patching approximately 56 locations of previous potholes that posed a danger to users.
