JAKARTA - The construction of basic infrastructure in Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan continues.

Assistant II for Development and Economic Affairs at the Regional Secretariat of North Penajam Paser Regency, Ahmad Usman at Penajam, said the central government was continuing to build basic infrastructure at IKN Nusantara.

This year, according to him, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) is repairing access roads that were badly damaged from Riko Village, Penajam District to Pemaluan Village, Sepaku District.

"The road repaired by the PUPR Ministry is the main access road to IKN Nusantara from the North Penajam Paser Regency," said Ahmad, quoting Antara, Saturday, May 7.

Road repairs from Riko to Pemaluan are in the construction stage, he continued, the road repair is the determination of the central government to build basic infrastructure in the IKN Nusantara area.

The relocation of the nation's capital city from Jakarta to parts of North Penajam Paser Regency and parts of Kutai Kartanegara Regency had a major impact on infrastructure development.

"People have enjoyed the smooth road from Samboja to Sepaku, and this year the damaged road from Riko to Pemaluan has begun to be repaired," he said.

The Sepaku Ring Road as a connecting road to the IKN Nusantara KIPP (core area of government) in the Sepaku District has also been carried out by the Ministry of PUPR in 2021.

The condition of the roads from Samboja District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency to Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency, he said, was getting better and smoother.

Then the construction of the Sepaku-Semoi Dam is in the physical construction stage, and the construction of the Sepaku water intake is in the process of land acquisition.

"The dam and intake were built in Sepaku District to meet the needs of clean water in the IKN Nusantara area," he said.
