Residents Please Be Patient! Central Kalimantan Provincial Government Has Budgeted IDR 160 Billion To Repair Roads In Bukit Liti-Bawan

KALTENG - Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) Head of Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Shalahuddin stated that the provincial government in 2022 will allocate Rp160 billion to repair roads from Bukit Liti to Bawan, Bawan-Kuala Kurun, and Linau-Tumbang Jutuh, Gunung Regency. Mr. Road repairs will start next year.

"People who pass along Bukit Liti-Kuala Kurung, please be patient. Governor Sugianto Sabran has budgeted Rp160 billion for repairs," explained

Salahuddin in Palangka Raya reported by Antara, Monday, December 6.

In addition to the provincial road around Gunung Mas Regency, the information is that the Central Government through the Ministry of PUPR will also repair the road from Kuala Kurun to Puruk Cahu, Murung Raya Regency.

This is because the road is the Trans Kalimantan Tengah Axis, which is the authority of the central government. Salahuddin said that currently the Center for PUPR Ministry, Directorate General of Highways BPJN Central Kalimantan, is conducting an auction for the project for the Trans Kalimantan Tengah Axis road from Kuala Kurun to Puruk Cahu.

"So, the repair of provincial roads along Gunung Mas Regency is in line with the central government's plan," he said.

According to him, Governor Sugianto Sabran paid serious attention to the condition of the road infrastructure that connects Palangka Raya City with Gunung Mas Regency to Murung Raya.

He said the road is one of the strategic areas of Central Kalimantan's economy. This is because in Gunung Mas and Murung Raya there are a number of mining and plantation companies, which of course has an impact on the higher velocity of money and the creation of jobs, as well as the welfare of the community.

"To repair the road there are procedures and stages. But the point is, the road to Gunung Mas is safe in 2022. Governor Sugianto Sabran has provided a budget of Rp160 billion," he said.
