According to Dody, the construction work on the bridge will be completed in December 2026, while still prioritizing the aspects of construction safety and work quality. So that the infrastructure built can provide optimal benefits for the community.
"This effort is part of the government's commitment to ensure that regional connectivity is maintained and supports the smooth mobility of the community and the distribution of logistics in the region," he added.
