MUKOMUKO - The Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of Mukomuko Regency, Bengkulu stated, part of Sendang Mulya Village Fund, Penarik District was used to build damaged roads due to landslides in the area. "We help with heavy equipment for handling landslides and then continue by the village using the Village Fund to build roads," said Acting Head of the Mukomuko District Public Works and Spatial Planning Office Apriansyah in Mukomuko, Antara, Friday, December 23. Previously, the main road access connecting two villages in Penarik Subdistrict was buried by landslides due to heavy rains hit this area. He said the Village Fund in Sendang Mulya Village was used to build a 300-meter-long concrete rebate road at the location of the damaged road caused by being buried by landslides. "In our opinion, the building has been physically resolved, especially the fatal ones due to being buried by landslides and steep roads," he said. In addition, he said, his agency had finished eliminating all landslide material that had stockpiled along the village connecting road in the area. "The handling activities using heavy equipment have been completed, the next activity is the construction of roads damaged by landslides," he also said. The local government previously prepared alternative routes to divert access roads connecting two villages in Penarik District which were cut off due to being buried by landslides. The alternative road is the direction of Gambir to the Ujung Tolan and the suspension bridge. The bridge floor sign that is weathered is replaced. "The condition of the alternative road is quite steep, the important thing is that there is access," he said. In addition, the distance from alternative road access from Sendang Mulya Village to Hamlet I Penarik is 17 kilometers, or further than road access from Sendang Mulya Village to Hamlet I Penarik for 10 kilometers. However, there are no gaps and high cliffs, so it is safer than the access road connecting Sendang Mulya Village with Suka Maju Village.
