JAKARTA - The DPRD of West Java Province assesses that the existence of the Sriwijaya Underpass in Cimahi City which was inaugurated by the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil can be an access to support the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project.

"Although currently it is still aimed at easing congestion around Jalan Dustira-Sriwijaya, Cimahi City. This Cimahi Underpass can be used as a supporting access for the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train," said Deputy Chairman of the West Java Provincial DPRD, Ineu Purwadewi Sundari in Bandung, Wednesday, February 23, as reported by the Jakarta Post. Antara. Ineu is grateful that the inauguration of the Cimahi City Sriwijaya Underpass was inaugurated on a 'beautiful date' so that the existence of the underpass can provide benefits to the community, especially residents of Cimahi City. At two o'clock the Sriwijaya Underpass has been inaugurated. This is the first underpass in Cimahi City, thanks to the support of the West Java Provincial Government in its construction, "said Ineu.

Ineu asked the community and other parties to have a sense of ownership of the underpass.

Thus, the existence of the congestion-degrading infrastructure provided for Cimahi City is always maintained and always clean. "We hope that what has been given to Cimahi City is useful and by the people it is maintained and becomes an asset to break down congestion," he said. When asked about the potential for decomposing infrastructure development congestion in other large areas, Ineu asked related parties to also try to resolve congestion in the same way.

"In the city of Bandung, there are several flyovers, this time in the city of Cimahi. The Cimahi municipal government also said that they wanted an alternative again, for underpasses or flyovers in other areas in order to relieve congestion," he continued.

In addition to easing congestion, Ineu assessed that the Sriwijaya Underpass was a supporting access to the high-speed train station in Padalarang, West Bandung Regency. This is because, said Ineu, the initial construction of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train underwent a change in the final stop.

"As stated by the Governor of West Java, the plan for the high-speed train was originally in Tegalluar but is currently planned in Padalarang. Automatically, the use of this support line will be more coherent," he added. Meanwhile, Secretary of Commission IV of the West Java DPRD, Buky Wibawa Karya Guna welcomed With the Sriwijaya Underpass, the infrastructure development program has been designed for quite a long time. "We continue to provide support for the underpass construction," said Buky. "This includes the desire of the people of Cimahi City to build underpasses in other areas. We do not support any kind of infrastructure development that the community needs," continued Buky.
