Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung announced plans to rebuild the pedestrian bridge on Jalan Kapten Tendean in South Jakarta, calling it a strategic and busy crossing.

We immediately want to build it because it is one of the strategic pedestrian bridges.

— Pramono AnungThe Jakarta Governor emphasized the urgency of rebuilding the pedestrian bridge.

The governor's statement follows an incident on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, when a truck carrying heavy equipment became stuck while attempting to pass under the existing bridge. The incident highlighted the need for a replacement structure.

Pramono stated that while the budget for the reconstruction is not yet available, he will explore various funding options. These include the revised regional budget (APBD), corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds, building floor coefficient compensation (KLB), and potential strategic partnerships.

So if Bina Marga conveys that it will not be built yet because the budget is definitely not there. Then with that, I will find a space.

— Pramono AnungThe governor addressed the lack of immediate budget for the reconstruction.
