Bengkulu - The Bengkulu Provincial Government is closely monitoring trucks that are loaded beyond the provisions or over dimension and over load (ODOL) in order to prevent roads that are built with large funds even reaching Rp. 600 billion from being damaged again.
"We need to increase this supervision. Don't let the roads that have been built not be damaged after five years due to overloaded vehicles and ODOL," said Deputy Governor of Bengkulu Mian in Bengkulu, Thursday, quoted by Antara.
Deputy Governor Mian has also instructed all levels of the Bengkulu Provincial Transportation Office to increase supervision of provincial road infrastructure that has been built in 2025.
"As directed by the governor, all members of the Bengkulu Provincial Transportation Office must increase supervision of the roads that have been built. The goal is to maintain the quality of the road, one of which is by not allowing vehicles with excess tonnage or overloaded trucks to pass through arbitrarily," said Mian.
He said the construction of road infrastructure was one of the priority programs of the Governor Helmi-Deputy Governor Mian couple since the campaign period and became the main focus during their five-year leadership.
In fact, he continued, in the period of about 10 months of leadership, the budget for the construction of road infrastructure that has been disbursed reached around Rp. 600 billion.
The budget is the largest in the history of the establishment of Bengkulu Province. In fact, in 2026 and 2027, the Bengkulu Provincial Government budgeted even more, with the allocation plan reaching approximately Rp. 2 trillion.
Previously, the Governor of Bengkulu stated that a number of policy programs such as the procurement of free ambulances for villages and villages to the construction of smooth roads will continue in 2026.
"Alhamdulillah, the first (in 2025) we have handed over hundreds of ambulances to every village, as well as working on the construction of road infrastructure to rural areas. This program will continue in 2026," said Bengkulu Governor Helmi Hasan.
Moreover, said Helmi, there are still several jobs, namely free ambulance assistance and road infrastructure that have not been fully completed in 2025.
Governor Helmi Hasan is optimistic that the achievement in 2025 will be the foundation for better performance in 2026, with a focus on programs that really touch people directly.
