CENTRAL LOMBOK - Central Lombok Regency Government, West Nusa Tenggara stated, the amount of budget prepared to improve road infrastructure in 2023 to support community economic growth reached Rp30 billion.
"The increase in road infrastructure is budgeted through the 2023 Special Allocation Fund (DAK)," said Head of the Central Lombok Regency Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), Lalu Rahadian in Praya, Antara, Tuesday, January 24.
With a limited budget condition due to COVID-19, the road benchmarks that can be repaired in 2023 reach 25 kilometers spread across five road points in Central Lombok.
The roads that will be repaired are the Lendang Bau road section to the West Lombok border with a length of 5 kilometers, the Mangkung road to Selong Belanak with a length of 12 kilometers, the Mantang road to Seganteng road with a length of 5 kilometers and the Jelojok Dasan Baru road segment with a length of 4.8 kilometers.
"The Mangkung-Selong Belanak road segment was repaired which was badly damaged or at some point," he said.
He said the road construction was carried out to support economic growth and tourism development in Central Lombok.
Meanwhile, the road infrastructure development project using loan funds from Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (SMI) of IDR 200 billion in 2022 has been completed.
"With the funds, about 90 kilometers of roads and bridges have been hotmixed or completed," he said.
Of the total 90 kilometers of roads that have been on the hotmix, 75 kilometers have been carried out using loan funds and 21 kilometers using the Special Allocation Fund (DAK).
"The road that was built is still in the maintenance stage," he said.
He said, of the total district roads in Central Lombok which reached 890 kilometers, 70 percent were in good condition and 30 percent were damaged. The increase in roads in damaged conditions was due to changes in the status of village roads to districts.
"The road increase in Central Lombok is carried out in stages, due to budget constraints," he said.
