SINTANG – The Governor of West Kalimantan, H. Sutarmidji, accompanied by the Regent of Sintang, H. Jarot Winarno, and Chairman of the the West Kalimantan Province Legislative Council, M. Kebing. L, inspected the provincial road which has a length of 58.7 Kilometers in Binjai District, Sintang Regency, Thursday (9/12/2021).
The Governor of West Kalimantan explained that the process of repairing road infrastructure will use the Special Allocation Fund (DAK). For now, the first effective segment is about 500 meters in length and for the second effective segment is around 6.5 KM using DAK.
“The provincial road that we are reviewing has a length of 7 Kilometers and will continue for 7 Kilometers from Binjai to Merakai. Based on the results of the review, I requested that the pure DAK be used to handle bridges. A common problem is that the bridge is lower than the road. The bridge must be curved or higher than the road so that the mobility of the community is smooth and the economy in the area increases,” said the Governor of West Kalimantan.
Furthermore, the Governor asked all palm oil companies to synergize with the West Kalimantan Provincial Government to jointly maintain road infrastructure so that it will not be damaged again.
“In Sintang Regency, there are six palm oil companies. They must collaborate with the government,” asked him.
