Then&now: Viaduct Matraman at Meester Cornelis - 1920 🇮🇩

The viaduct in Matraman, designed to grade-separate train tracks from the road below, has been in use ever since it's construction. Things changed only a few years ago when the tracks were de-activated and removed to allow for the construction of the higher train viaduct you see directly behind it. New tracks will be installed later.
