Palattae Rampung Bridge Built, Pangkas Jarak Maros To Sinjai Becomes 1 Hour

The condition of the Palattae Bridge in Bone Regency, which continues to focus on completing the South Sulawesi PUTR Service (ANTARA).

MAKASSAR - The Provincial Government (Pemprov) of South Sulawesi (Sulsel) through the Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUTR) focuses on completing the construction of the Palattae River Bridge on the Tanajateue - Sanrego - Palattaae section in Bone Regency from 2 hours to 1 hour.

South Sulawesi Governor Andi Sudirman Sulaiman said the presence of this bridge was very useful because it could facilitate and cut the distance for motorists from Maros who wanted to go to Sinjai, so they no longer had to cross Bengo or in Lappariaja.

"Alhamdulillah, the progress of the Palattae River Bridge construction on the Tanababate - Sanrego - Palattaae section in Bone Regency," said Andi Sudirman Sulaiman as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, March 10.

The construction of this new bridge, he said, was to replace the old and narrow bridge. Even the narrow bridge width also sometimes causes accidents. Moreover, the age of the bridge is about 50 years old, so it was decided to be replaced with a new one, he said.

"The plan is to build this bridge with a span of 22.69 meters and a width of 9.6 meters," said the Governor of South Sulawesi.

The handling of the bridge, which has begun at the end of 2021, is the focus of the South Sulawesi Provincial Government considering the condition of the bridge that has been damaged in several parts.

"We hope for support from the surrounding community, hopefully this smooth development will facilitate the mobility of goods and services," said Governor Andi Sudirman Sulaiman.

In addition, in an effort to support the smooth access of the community, the South Sulawesi Provincial Government in 2023 allocated a budget of IDR 28 billion for the handling of the reconstruction of the Tanajateue - Sanrego - Palattae road.
