Central Budget Of IDR 33.4 Billion Liquid, South Ring Road Kudus Langganan Flood Begins To Be High
JATENG - The South Ring Road or Jalan Kudus-Semarang, Central Java, which has often been flooded so that it interferes with access on the East Pantura Line, has begun to be elevated following the disbursement of a budget from the Central Government of Rp33.4 billion."The Kudus Regency Government only proposes because the national road is very urgent to be elevated considering that in early 2023, the Kudus-Semarang Road was flooded during the rainy season," said Head of the Kudus Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Arief Budi Siswanto in Kudus, Wednesday, October 25, confiscated by Antara.Previously, he said, Kudus residents also complained every rainy season, local road access was prone to flooding, thus disrupting their daily activities, including vehicle traffic on the East Pantura Line.With this large budget, he said, road elevations start from the front of the Jati Kudus Main Terminal to the Tanggulangin Bridge.
The implementation of the road building project, he said, was carried out for 96 days or lasted from September 27 to December 31, 2023. Meanwhile, the implementation of the project was PT Saka Pilar Utama.He estimates that the road's existing height will reach 1 meter, so that during the rainy season it will no longer be flooded.So far, every time it rains, the Kudus Ring Road in front of the Jati Kudus Main Terminal is often flooded.When rainfall increases, four-wheeled vehicles or two-wheelers from both Pati and Semarang cannot pass because the flood inundation is getting higher so motorists must look for alternative routes that are not flooded.
