BEKASI - The first phase of the 2.3 kilometer Cikarang-Cibarusah Road widening project in Sukadami Village, South Cikarang District was inaugurated today.

"Alhamdulillah, with God's blessing today, on behalf of the Governor, he launched the project for widening and repairing the Cibarusah-Cikarang toll road," said Acting Bekasi Regent Dani Ramdan in Cikarang, Thursday, May 26.

Work on the provincial road segment will take place for the next 220 calendar days by the Department of Highways and Spatial Planning of West Java Province with a budget ceiling of Rp. 24 billion which was won by PT Unggul Sokaja through an offer worth Rp. 17.49 billion.

Dani said that the existing six-meter-wide road segment will be widened to 14 meters with the addition of four meters on each side of the road as measured from the lip of the pavement.

"The widening is 14 meters, seven meters for the right, seven meters for the left. In accordance with provincial road standards. As is known, the Cikarang-Cibarusah Road is a provincial road," he said, as reported by Antara.

He stated that the road widening budget of Rp. 17.49 billion that was disbursed by the West Java Provincial Government included the cost of maintaining damage at a number of points of the road segment.

His party also asked the contractor implementing the activity to make a median road of 40 centimeters wide to separate the right and left lanes of the road and drainage to avoid flooding.

"I also ask residents to be patient and understand while the work is in progress because it has the potential to cause congestion. The regional government has also prepared a traffic engineering scheme to avoid traffic congestion," he said.

Meanwhile, West Java DPRD Member Jejen Sayuti was grateful for the start of the road widening project in his electoral district. Jejen explained that the Cikarang-Cibarusah Road is the heart of traffic for the people of Bekasi Regency who live on the south side.

"People especially in Bekasi Regency who live in the southern part, this is the term for the veins. Today the action has been taken, the budget is also ready, hopefully the work will run smoothly. Hopefully it can reach Cibarusah later," he said.
