"Our team is going to the location," said Kurdish.

Another damage is the Kajeung Tungkop Suspension Bridge with a length of 120 meters while it cannot be passed, and needs severe rehabilitation. Estimates a temporary loss of Rp. 400 million.

For emergency handling of the damage to the Kajeung-Tungkop bridge, he said, it would be carried out for emergency handling in the form of repairing the floor and the bottom of the bridge so that it could be passed again.

The landslide of the road, he said, also occurred on the Pasie janeng - Paya Baro district road, precisely Gampong Baro Village, along 200 meters long, and the plan was to transfer the route with a budget requirement of Rp600 million.

As for the cliffs, the damage to Krueng Woyla's erosion under the hall, requires a budget of IDR 7-10 billion, and emergency handling is opened for a temporary new route so that access roads can be passed.

Then in Pasie Sira, Pante Ceurmen District, West Aceh Regency also caused very severe erosion with a erosion length of more than 250 meters. This damage, he said, had also been surveyed by the Aceh Disaster Management Agency (BPBA), BPBD and PUPR Aceh, and proposed to BNPB in the amount of Rp. 15 billion.

As for the damage to the Tutut-Geumpang Road (West Aceh-Pidie crossing), said Kurdish, there were three locations where the road was damaged, including 78 landslides on the road, the second at the Beibon intersection which was broken, making it very difficult to pass.

Then the third one, most recently at the Lancong intersection, experienced landslides on the road, and with an estimated cost requirement needed for handling it amounted to Rp6 billion.
