PENAJAM - Repairing landslide roads in Tengin Baru Village, Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan Province (Kaltim), which is access to Nusantara City, Indonesia's future capital, is targeted for completion within 12 days. "The repairs have been carried out since yesterday, not long after the landslide incident," said Head of the Preservation Division of the East Kalimantan National Road Implementation Center (BBPJN) Irwan, in Penajam, Antara, Tuesday, January 30. The main road in Sepaku District, which is an access to the city of Nusantara, collapsed on Monday, at around 07.00 WITA, when it was crossed by a truck loaded with about 10 tons of palm oil and had fallen in the middle of the landslide road. The road that is crossed by a truck loaded with palm oil has weak components, resulting in landslides when there is a heavy load passing. It is estimated that BBPJN in the process of working on landslides in the Tengin Baru Village area, Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency, will not take long because the process of sending smooth materials and adequate equipment. "We estimate that the repair of the landslide road will take 11 to 12 days for the road to be completed perfectly," he said again. "The landslide road is in the repair stage, the work is carried out in stages with one side first," he also said. Initial improvements were made by hoarding using soil material and hardening, so that the road could be passed even though it still had to alternate with traffic engineering. Vehicles no longer pile up and traffic activity is smooth, he said, large vehicles either with or without cargo can also cross the main road. "The large tonnage truck carrying materials and logistics for the development of the City of Nusantara has been able to pass to the development area," he also said.

"After a number of temporary repairs, currently the main road can be passed by large-sized vehicles so as not to hinder the delivery of logistics and materials for the development of the City of Nusantara," said Irwan.
