Since trash often stuck under the bridge and disturb Ciliwung River flow, Jakarta Governor, Basuki “Ahok” T Purnama is about to dismantle Kalibata Bridge, precisely at the bottom.

The tender is still progressing, we’ll run the project after the winning bidder is announced

He added Jakarta Financial and Assets Management Body (BPKAD) had done tender regarding demolishment plan and is expected to be finished at the end of this November.

“The tender is still progressing, we’ll run the project after the winning bidder is announced,” he said at City Hall, Tuesday (11/17).

Through demolishment, Ahok assessed, the river could flow smoothly.

Jakarta Provincial Government has built a higher bridge at the location and has been operated since 2011 ago. However, the old bridge under has not been demolished. "We’ll demolish the bottom one," he finished.
