Road And Bridge Access In Bima Terdepat Akibat Banjir Bandang

BIMA A number of access roads and bridges in Ambalawi District, Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), were cut off due to flash floods and landslides that hit the area on Sunday.

The Ambalawi sub-district head revealed that there were about eight to nine landslide points that closed the main route of Bima-Ambalawi City.

"The landslide occurred from Kole Village to Tolowata, as well as in the 'Sonco Lumban' zone connecting Rite and Tolowata villages," said Camat Ambalawi to ANTARA, Monday, February 3.

In addition to landslides, several bridges in the area were also badly damaged, including the Kolo Bridge, the Sapi Bridge, the Ujung Kalate Bridge (City Connector Bima - Ambalawi), and the Ambalawi Bridge (Wera-Ambalawi Connector).

"Meanwhile, road access in Talapiti Village was also cut off. This is still based on the temporary information we received," he added.

Floods and landslides also caused damage to a number of buildings, including the SMP and SMA Jalap Muhammadiyah Rite building, the Multipurpose Building (GSG) of Tolowata Village, and two houses in Mawu Village that were swept away by the current.

Currently, a joint team from Basarnas, BPBD, volunteers, and local officials are conducting data collection and evacuation of affected victims.

Chairman of the Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC) of Bima Regency, Amiruddin, said that all access to Ambalawi and Wera sub-districts is currently completely closed due to this disaster.

"Our volunteers who brought logistical assistance and wanted to evacuate the victims had to cross the Sape District route because direct access to Ambalawi was completely cut off," he said.

According to him, four-wheeled vehicles cannot enter the area, while two-wheeled vehicles must pass through extreme routes filled with collapsed roads, rocks, and river currents.

"If you want to force your way in, you have to go through a very dangerous and challenging path," he added.

Based on information compiled by ANTARA, mud material as high as an adult's calf with a length of about 12-15 meters hoarding road and bridge access to Tolowata and Nipa, exacerbates the condition of infrastructure in the affected areas.
