100 Kilometers Of Roads In Purwakarta Conditions Damaged

PURWAKARTA - Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of Purwakarta Regency, West Java, said that about 100 kilometers of roads in the area were damaged.

"Until now, there are still damaged roads in Purwakarta. But we will try our best to continue to handle them," said Head of the Purwakarta Public Works and Spatial Planning Office, Ryan Oktavia, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 10.

He said that until now in Purwakarta there is a damaged road with a length of about 100 kilometers, with details of 36.7 kilometers of roads with lightly damaged conditions and roads heavily damaged by about 73 kilometers.

His party still needs a large budget to complete the construction of proper infrastructure. On the other hand, the capacity of the APBD still cannot cover it.

According to Ryan, for infrastructure, especially roads, his staff continues to strive for the road to be realized, even to remote villages.

According to him, Purwakarta has a long road with a district road status of 729 kilometers.

Over time and due to natural factors and others, of the 729 kilometers of roads with district road status, now around 85 percent of road conditions are stable and 15 percent are heavily damaged and light.

The damaged road conditions were spread across several areas of Purwakarta.

"We maintain 85 percent confidence. There may be a decrease due to the high rainfall intensity in the last few months. Meanwhile, 15 percent of roads are moderately damaged and severe will be repaired in stages," said Ryan.

He detailed that there were roads with light damage of about 36.7 kilometers and heavy damage of about 73 kilometers, while the road was steady for about 631 kilometers.

"There will be an increase of about 14.7 kilometers. Meanwhile, about 16.35 kilometers have been repaired," he said.

Meanwhile, for roads with provincial roads in Purwakarta, there are 59 kilometers. Meanwhile, roads with national roads in the Purwakarta area are estimated to be 42.9 kilometers long.

"We must all know that not all roads in Purwakarta can be repaired by the district government, depending on the status of the road itself," he said.
