BOGOR - Governor of West Java (Jabar) Ridwan Kamil ensured that the construction of a special toll road for mining trucks along 11.5 kilometers connecting Rumpin-Parungpanjang, Bogor Regency, West Java has been running.

"I can say, this special mining road has actually started. Land has been cleared and roads have been formed even though it is still in the form of land," said Ridwan Kamil, who is familiarly called Kang Emil, while inspecting the construction site of the mine road, in Rengasjajar Village, Cigudeg, Bogor, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, May 29.

According to him, this kind of route is a new type in Indonesia. So there needs to be a rule that becomes the basis for the construction of the road. He explained that the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources had issued a special regulation as a construction permit.

"So this is an innovation that started from the regulation first. The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources even issued a special ministerial regulation for this route. So the road process continues, for Amdal and so on, so it is hoped that one year from now, God willing, it can operate," said Kang Emil.

He explained that this special road will pass 12 bridges and have 8 entry and exit points and will be connected to the JORR III Toll Road.

He hopes that if this route is completed, there will be no more mining trucks sharing public roads with the public.

If this is finished, God willing, there will be no more mixing that causes a lot of harm and death. For public lanes, later we will have asphalt. I have ordered it to be done after the mining route is complete," he said.

The construction of this special mining truck road is Ridwan Kamil's promise to the community to overcome a number of problems due to the large number of mining trucks passing on arterial roads in the western and northern regions of Bogor Regency.

The reason is, not a few people have died because they were hit by a mining truck. Not to mention, then the vehicle carrying mining products caused traffic jams and caused air pollution due to road dust.

The Bogor Regency Government has even issued a regent's regulation to regulate the operating hours of mining trucks, but there are still many violations of their implementation in the field.
