Sukoharjo Police Chief AKBP Wahyu Nugroho Setyawan confirmed the collapse of the Tambakboyo bridge. He said that the bridge connecting Tambakboyo Village with Blerong Village, Tawangsari District collapsed on Friday, December 31, at around 09.30 WIB.
Wahyu said, the bridge collapsed due to loose poles.
"At around 08.00 WIB, as many as five workers checked the bolts and interlocking ropes holding the bridge because the interlocking ropes holding the bridge were deemed unbalanced or one-sided," Wahyu explained.
Shortly after the incident, workers made repairs to the alternating rope locking bolts.
"At around 09.30 WIB, the interlocking rope was released from the lock and caused the bridge to collapse into the river," he added.
The collapse of the bridge took a toll. At least two workers were injured and immediately rushed to the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) Ir Soekarno, Sukoharjo. Luckily there were no casualties in the incident.
From the information provided by the police chief, the Tambakboyo bridge has not been inaugurated by the Sukoharjo Regional Government because it is still under construction. After this incident, the bridge will be repaired over the next few days.
"For the latest information, because the results of the work (the construction of the bridge) have not been handed over to the regional government, the implementer will be fully responsible for repairing it in about 50 days," Wahyu explained.
Furthermore, his party will conduct an investigation whether there is an element of crime in this incident.
"We sent a team to carry out an investigation," he said.
