A
footbridge above a toll road connecting Bumi Serpong Damai in South Tangerang with Jakarta has collapsed after the driver of a heavy-duty truck carrying heavy equipment lost control and hit the structure on Sunday evening.
The incident occurred on the eighth kilometer of the road at around 9:52 p.m., creating traffic congestion in both directions until Monday morning.
Jasa Marga Traffic Information Center spokesperson Riko said the route from BSD to Jakarta and vice versa was closed because of the ongoing removal of debris. Jasa Marga field officers redirected traffic to Bintaro and Pondok Aren to reduce the congestion.
"From the reports that we have received, the removal is still in process. We still don't have information on how long the removal will take," Riko told thejakartapost.com on Sunday.
Drivers heading to BSD from Jakarta or Pondok Indah should take the Pondok Ranji exit, while those heading to Jakarta from BSD should take the Bintaro or Pondok Ranji exits, Riko added. (ags)
