Bojonggede Station Escalator Repairs Expected by Late November
Bogor Regency is repairing the broken escalator on the skybridge at Bojonggede Station in West Java, Indonesia.
The escalator has been out of service for a long time, and passengers have been redirected to a route for people with disabilities.
Officials say the skybridge has more damage than first expected, so repairs need extra funding and some parts are not yet available.
The work is being done in stages, and the escalator is expected to be fixed by late November or, at the latest, early December 2026.
Officials say safety is the main concern because damaged steps could come loose or the escalator could move unexpectedly if forced to operate.
Residents had protested the long delay by sending a flower arrangement to the station.
Repairs to the broken escalator at Bojonggede Station’s skybridge are expected to finish by late November 2026.
Bogor Regency Transportation Agency head Bayu Ramawanto said work could continue into early December at the latest.
The escalator was closed after inspectors found extensive damage and a need for further maintenance.
Repairs began in stages on 27 October, with some spare parts not yet available.
