The Bengkulu Provincial Government also continues to coordinate with the Central Government regarding the completion of national road repairs in the Liku Sembilan area, Central Bengkulu Regency so that it can be completed before the homecoming flow. The road previously collapsed due to high rainfall in January. The Liku Sembilan road is stretched on the slopes of the Bukit Barisan cluster, which is one side of the mountain and the other side of the inner ravine. The national road, which is under construction, is the only access to Bengkulu Province to Lubuk Linggau City, South Sumatra Province, the mid- Island crossing route in Sumatra. Therefore, the connecting road for Bengkulu-Lubuk Linggau City is vital access, including during the homecoming and Eid homecoming.
