JAKARTA - The National Road Implementation Office (BPJN) of the Directorate General of Road Construction of the Ministry of Public Works (PU) has completed the handling of seven national road sections in Aceh Tamiang Regency, Aceh Province, along 35.96 kilometers (km).
The national roads were damaged by floods, landslides and sediment accumulation after the late November 2025 flood.
Minister PU Dody Hanggodo emphasized that the restoration of national road functions is the main priority after the disaster. National roads are important as connectivity for economic recovery in Aceh Tamiang Regency.
"The PU Ministry is moving quickly to deal with the impact of floods and landslides in Aceh Tamiang so that national road connectivity is maintained. National roads are very important to support community mobility and logistics distribution," said Dody, quoted from a written statement, Wednesday, December 31.
A total of seven sections that have been completed, including the Langsa/Aceh Tamiang City Limits Road - Kuala Simpang City; Ir. Juanda Road; Cut Nyak Dien Road; Iskandar Muda Road; General Sutoyo Road; Ade Irma Suryani Road; and Kuala Simpang City Road - North Sumatra Province Limits.
To accelerate recovery, the PU Ministry in collaboration with BUMN works has deployed 30 units of excavators, three units of dozers, five units of loaders, four units of graders, three units of backhoe loaders and 74 units of dump trucks and supported by dozens of field personnel and 24 daily workers.
Not only national roads, the PU Ministry also handles roads in the city that are still buried in sediment so that they are easy to pass. The main focus of the treatment is on access roads to public facilities.
"In addition to national roads, we are also restoring roads in the city, namely access to public facilities, especially at the Kuala Simpang market so that we can immediately recover the economy in Aceh Tamiang. Cleaning is also carried out on access to schools, health centers and hospitals," said the Commitment Maker Officer (PPK) 1.5 BPJN Aceh Ardian.
The PU Ministry emphasized its commitment to ensure that national road connectivity is maintained, especially in disaster-affected areas, as an effort to support community mobility and the recovery of economic activities in Aceh Tamiang Regency.
