JAKARTA - If this plan goes well, the city of Bandung in 2023 may look different. Bandung City Government wants no more overhead cables dangling in a number of main roads.
Bandung Mayor Yana Mulyana said that so far there are 13 roads that are being sought to no longer have aerial cables. As for later the cables installed on the power poles will be planted in the ground with a ducting system.
"So far, there are 13 segments. The others will also be carried out by BUMDs outside of these 13. Hopefully, this will accelerate the completion of ducting and the reduction of cables in the city of Bandung," said Yana in Bandung, Java. West, Friday 12 August quoted from Antara.
The city government has started from Jalan Ir H Juanda (Dago). In the near future, according to him, the roads that will implement the ducting system are Jalan LLRE Martadinata and Jalan Ahmad Yani.
According to him, the Bandung City Government is also coordinating with PLN to check the impacts and risks related to the application of ducting on electric cables.
"So they need to be careful. In addition, because there is no budget this year, they must first budget for all processes," he said.
Meanwhile, Head of the Bandung City Communications and Information Office, Yayan A Brilyana, said that his party could not directly cut the cables in the air without preparing space for ducting.
So, he said, the process of lowering the cable takes time to avoid interference with public facilities.
"It must be connected first. Don't let us break the cable, it turns out that the internet, CCTV, WiFi are also broken. So make sure everything operates normally first. This will take time," said Yayan.
