TANJUNG SELOR - Bulungan Regency Government (Pemkab), North Kalimantan (Kaltara), revitalized the Lemlai Suri monument on Jalan Telor Break, Tanjung Selor District.

In order for the revitalization project to run smoothly, the Bulungan Regency Government collaborated with the Bulungan Police Traffic Unit to temporarily divert traffic flow from Jalan Serindit to Jelarai Selor.

"I hope this revitalization project can run smoothly," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Bulungan Public Housing and Settlement Areas (DPRKP), Adriani added, the revitalization project was carried out for 240 calendar days.

"Physical work is done thoroughly, but we don't change the original shape," said Adriani.

"The Suri's Lemlai Monument will be elevated from 18 meters to 24 meters," he continued

He explained that the broken egg icon would be replaced from concrete material to bronze. However, for the construction of the bottom of the monument, it is certain that it will continue to use concrete construction.

"For bronze material, we ordered from outside, because here (Bulungan) there is no material like that. God willing, in the near future we will order," he added.

Adriani said that the position of the Suri Lemlai Monument would also be changed or not parallel to the median of the road. Therefore, a shift is made to the left side.
