IDXChannel - Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) directly reviewed the progress of the construction of the Ciliwung River reservoir to the East Flood Canal (KBT), Jakarta, Tuesday (24/01/2023).
Arriving at the inlet area at around 09.10 WIB, the President immediately saw the presentation of the sodetan project.
Sodetan Kali Ciliwung is an integral part of the Ciawi Dam, Sukamahi Dam, and other flood canal systems. The construction of this sodetan is part of the government's comprehensive efforts to control floods in the DKI Jakarta area.
"Actually, this is a follow-up project that used to run from 2013 to 2016, then stopped because of land acquisition problems," said Sodetan Kali Ciliwung Project Manager to the East Flood Canal (KBT), Farida Maharani.
According to Farida, currently the progress of the sodetan development has reached 77 percent. President Joko Widodo himself is optimistic that the sodetan project can be completed and operational in April 2023.
