RIAU - The Riau Regional Police Traffic Directorate has imposed an open road closure due to the collapse of the Riau-West Sumatra Cross Road (West Sumatra), precisely at Kilometer 106 in XIII Koto Kampar District, Kampar Regency. Direktur Ditlantas Polda Riau Kombes Taufiq Lukman Nurhidayat mengatakan, buka tutup jalan dilakukan karena hanya satu kendaraan roda dua yang bisa melalui. According to him, this happened because the rainfall was quite high in recent times, causing the road to collapse on Tuesday. "The cause of the road erosion is due to the high rainfall in the past two days. Initially it could be used 3/4 roads, now it's only half the way," he said as quoted by Antara. The police have coordinated with the contractor. In addition, they will immediately hold a meeting with the Public Works Office for the implementation of road repairs. As a result of the collapse of the road, the queue of vehicles that will pass through the road also spread. The reason is that the traffic is a traffic of basic necessities from West Sumatra to Riau. "The queue of vehicles from West Sumatra to Riau is approximately 1 km, while from Riau to West Sumatra it is approximately 500 meters," he said. In addition to opening and closing traffic flow, traffic engineering is also carried out to reduce vehicle queues at that location. People passing by are diverted to alternative routes through Kuantan Singingi Regency. "The public is asked to use another alternative route. From the West Sumatra to pass through the Kilo Kiliran, Sijunjung Regency to Kuansing, Riau and from Riau via the Folding Cloth route, Kampar through Kuansing to West Sumatra," he explained.
