NAGAN RAYA - The Nagan Raya Regency Government, Aceh Province, has asked the central government to immediately build an emergency bridge in the Blang Tripa Village area, Alue Wakie Village, Darul Makmur District, which was cut off by flash floods in late November 2025.
"The collapse of this steel truss bridge has had a direct impact on the community, because it has hampered the mobility and economic activities of the residents," said the Regent of Nagan Raya, Aceh Teuku Raja Keumangan to ANTARA, Monday, December 22.
He hopes that the central government will immediately take concrete steps, by building a temporary or emergency bridge that can be passed by small-bodied four-wheel vehicles, in order to restore people's transportation access.
"We hope that there will be the construction of a bailey bridge to help access the community in Blang Tripa Village, Gampong Alue Wakie," he said.
Teuku Raja Keumangan said that currently 110 families in Gunong Kong Village, Darul Makmur District are still isolated after a steel truss bridge that stretches across the local river was swept away by flash floods last week.
One unit of the steel truss bridge that has broken has a length of 120 meters, with a width of about 5-6 meters, and has often been used by the community as a means of transportation.
Due to the broken bridge, he said, currently the community is forced to use a motor boat so that they can get out of the village to the sub-district center or district center.
Previously, the BPBD of Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh, had also distributed various assistance to 110 households in Gunong Kong Village, Darul Makmur District, so that people in the local hinterland did not lack supplies of basic goods.
"We hope that the bailey bridge will be built soon, so that hundreds of residents will not continue to be isolated due to the broken bridge," said Teuku Raja Keumangan.
Previously, the Nagan Raya Regency Government, Aceh Province, ensured that as many as 1,807 units of houses belonging to residents in three sub-districts consisting of Beutong Ateuh Banggalang, Darul Makmur and Tripa Makmur, are currently in a state of damage due to the onslaught of the flash flood disaster.
Of the 1,807 houses affected by the flash flood disaster, 487 houses were reported to be severely damaged, 283 houses were in a moderate state of damage, and 1,043 houses were slightly damaged.
On the same occasion, the Regent of TRK who is also a former Head of the Aceh DPR emphasized that the repair of houses of residents affected by floods will be carried out gradually by taking into account the level of damage, both in the categories of minor, moderate, and severe damage.
Regent Teuku Raja Keumangan ensured that the Nagan Raya Regency Government would continue to be present in the community, overseeing the overall post-disaster handling, and accelerating the recovery of the social and economic lives of residents affected by the flood in Nagan Raya Regency.
