According to him, the Ciwsumdawu Toll Road has almost been completed recently, but there has been a landslide in section 5B which has hampered the settlement. "That's why we have construction improvements," said Basuki in Bandung Regency, West Java, Antara, Sunday, March 5. With the landslide, according to him, the construction of the toll road on the section will be converted into a bridge. Because, he said, another construction package on the Cisumdawu toll road has been completed. "I want it before Lebaran to be used for homecoming," said Basuki.
