CIANJUR - The Cianjur Regency Government, West Java, has allocated Rp 5 billion to continue the construction of the Puncak II route in Batulawang Village, Cipanas District, with the hope that the central government can immediately carry out the total construction as a solution to traffic jams on the Puncak route.

"The Cianjur Regency Government has allocated Rp 5 billion to continue the construction of a 2 kilometer road owned by the district on the Puncak II route. The construction will continue to be optimized as the main solution when there is traffic jam on the Puncak route," said Head of the PUTR Service, Eri Rihandiar, quoted by Antara, Saturday, March 19. .

He said his party would maximize the construction of routes that fall under the authority of the regional government, so as to encourage the central government to carry out total development starting from the Bogor Regency, so that the wheels of the economy will continue to run because there are alternative routes when traffic jams occur.

So far, the development of the Puncak II route, he said, the local government continues to strive to increase various activities, including tourist visits which are always hampered on the Puncak route, which is always crowded on weekends, so that the number continues to decline.

"When the Puncak II route is connected starting from Bogor, it is hoped that various activities including the economy can increase sharply because there are other routes to arrive quickly without traffic jams. We strive for sustainable development every year, while waiting for total development from the center," he said.

According to him, the Bogor Regency Government is doing the same thing, which continues to build district roads that can be connected to Cianjur.

"For the Bogor area, it is a dozen kilometers long, if we are only 9 kilometers long, we continue to strive for its construction every year," he said.

Meanwhile, business actors in the Puncak-Cipanas area hope that the central government will immediately intervene to overcome congestion on the Puncak route because every long holiday weekend, total traffic jams often occur like last month, where long queues of vehicles lasted up to 17 hours.

"The Puncak II route is the only solution that is very optimal for overcoming traffic jams on the main route. We business people really hope that dreams come true, when the weekends on the Puncak route are crowded, the Puncak II route is a solution to keep sending orders to Jabodetabek," said vegetable supplier in Cipanas District, Hendi.
