BENGKULU - A number of people in Bengkulu City, especially those who crossed the bridge connecting the Rawa Makmur area to Kelawi Village, complained that the road was damaged, causing a number of motorists to have an accident. "Some time ago, officers from the Public Works Service had repaired it with a patch. The repairs had been carried out for a long time in the range of three months ago," said one resident around Alimar in Bengkulu City, as reported by Antara, Thursday, April 4. The road on the bridge has been damaged for a long time. Therefore, he hopes that the government will immediately repair the road, especially ahead of the celebration of Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijri. The bridge is always crowded with vehicles, either two-wheeled or four-wheeled. Meanwhile, in the near future the Bengkulu City Government (Pemkot) will repair damaged roads on the bridge. "Tomorrow morning we will start repairing it. Now we are ordering the materials. The bridge road is concrete, so for the time being we will cast the concrete first, we will return it to the original. This year we also have a bridge repair work package and it will be paved," said Head of the Bengkulu City Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office Noprisman. The Head of the Bengkulu City Communication, Informatics and Intermediary Agency (Kominfosan) Gitagama Raniputera also conveyed the same thing that the government immediately took action to repair the road. The repair will be carried out in stages, but it is certain that the people of Bengkulu City can use the bridge safely and comfortably and safely arrive at their destination. "This improvement cannot be directly paved. But rest assured that the city government always prioritizes the comfort and happiness of its citizens. With this quick response, it is hoped that the community can pass the bridge safely, comfortably and safely to their destination," he explained.

It is known that a number of people staged protests by putting up a number of banners to immediately repair the bridge connecting Kelawi and Rawa Makmur villages that was damaged.
