JAKARTA - The West Sumatra National Road Implementation Agency (BPJN) targets the repair of the Anai Valley Road, which was damaged by a flash flood in late November 2025, to be completed in July 2026.
"The target is completed in July 2026. This is in accordance with the instructions of the Minister of Public Works and the Directorate General of Road Construction," said Head of BPJN West Sumatra Elsa Putra Friandi in Tanah Datar Regency, Friday, when reviewing the progress of the Anai Valley Road with the Head of the I Regional Work Unit Andi Mulia Rusli.
Elsa Putra Friandi said that in general, his party had strengthened all affected points with pilebeberapa construction some time after the disaster struck.
For further work, the type of road section repair construction carried out is still the same as before but there are some adjustments to the pile dimension. The reason is that there are several locations that have a sufficient depth of pile bore.
"We are making a dimensional change. For the total progress of the work, it is currently 44 percent, but for the work of the structural piles, it is already 77 percent," he said.
Furthermore, he explained that the change in the dimensibore pile was also carried out in relation to the anticipation of protection against the flow of the river at the location. Meanwhile, for the condition of the section so far, no widening has been carried out or it has been returned to its original width, it's just that there is an addition in the shoulder of the road.
On the other hand, BPJN ensures that the railway track around the disaster-affected location, which is the authority of the Railway Engineering Office, will not be demolished.
"Yesterday from the Ministry of Culture, they also said that no demolition was carried out," he added.
