JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono instructed improvement and widening on the alternative route to Puncak, West Java.

"If you want to increase the potential for tourism in areas in Sukamakmur District, apart from being an alternative route to the Puncak Bogor tourist area, the road must also be better, for that it must be widened with a standard of around 5.5 to 6 meters," Basuki said in a statement quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, September 20.

The regional roads that are referred to are the Sukamakmur-Sukawangi section and the Menker Gunung Batu section which are alternative tourist routes to Puncak Bogor.

Basuki ensured that the handling of damaged regional roads in accordance with Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 3 of 2023 concerning the Acceleration of Improvement of Regional Road Connectivity had begun simultaneously throughout the archipelago starting at the end of July 2023.

"The implementation of the Regional Road Instruction (IJD) which is carried out throughout Indonesia along the 2,800 km of the highway and 2,300 meters of bridges. In West Java, 15 roads were built, including those in Bogor Regency. Everything is targeted for completion in December 2023, including this road section," he said.

The preservation activity for the Sukamakmur - Sukawangi road has been carried out since August 30, 2023 with a contract value of IDR 38.96 billion. The construction was carried out by PT Hutama Prima with a length of handling 6.64 Km.

As for the Menker Gunung Batu section, the work was carried out by PT Bengkel Konstruksi Mandiri with a contract value of Rp14.94 billion since August 30, 2023 with a construction work of 2.93 km of road.

Meanwhile, Member of Commission V DPR Mulyadi said, with the road construction project in Sukamakmur District, it is hoped that Sukamakmur will truly prosper. The construction of this road has been planned until 2024 to Citeureup District.

"This means that people who go to Puncak can use this road, which goes to Cipanas as an alternative road. This reduces the volume burden of vehicles in the Puncak area, so that trips to tourist destinations are smoother. The breakthrough of the Minister of PUPR through this Presidential Instruction really feels the benefits of the community, and we continue to oversee the development," said Mulyadi.
