JAKARTA - The Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office of North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan, will improve the quality of roads leading to Benuo Taka Port to support logistics delivery and building materials for the capital city of Nusantara.

Access road to Benuo Taka Port needs to be improved, said Head of the PUPR Office of North Penajam Paser Regency, Riviana Noor. That is one of the routes prepared to support the new Indonesian IKN.

"The road is very important for logistics delivery routes and materials for the development of IKN Nusantara," Riviana continued, Monday, October 3, as reported by Antara.

The increase in road access is very necessary because it is a liaison to the Sepaku area as the core area of Indonesia's new IKN and is also connected to the Buluminung Industrial Estate (KIB).

The road that will be improved is, the access road from Jalan Silkar Petung to Benuo Taka Port is approximately 12 kilometers long.

Access to the Benuo Taka Port road from Silkar Street to Buluminung has been opened by the Technical Implementation Unit of Public Works or UPT PU Penajam District a few years ago.

However, until now, road access that crosses the plantation area of PT Kebun Mandiri Sejahtera (KMS) has not been increased.

"We have conveyed to regional heads regarding the improvement of the road, it is hoped that it can be done soon," explained Riviana.

The ongoing development of the basic infrastructure of IKN Nusantara includes the construction of the Sepaku-Semoi Dam and the construction of the Sepaku River's intake.

Then, the construction of the Sepaku ring road and the widening of the Petung-Sepaku axis road are also being carried out.

The central government will also build State Palaces and state institutional offices, as well as several toll road points connecting IKN Nusantara in 2022.
