Once Destroyed, Pidie-Meulaboh Line Now Can Be Passed
Pojok Pos. The national crossing liaison between the Tangse area, Pidie Regency and Meulaboh, West Aceh Regency which had been completely broken down due to being hit by a flash flood could be passed by vehicles.
The Disaster Management Agency (BPBA) Acting Chief Teuku Ahmad Dadek said the route was a state road so the damage was directly handled by the State Road Hall.
"It's a country road, it's been handled and it can be passed by vehicles," Dadek said Monday (10/12).
Dadek explained that the cause of the total road break was not because of being hit by flash floods, but due to the overflowing of the Bale River and had not been repaired perfectly. According to Dadek, in the past two months, the Pidie-Meulaboh crossing route has even been damaged twice.
"So yesterday it was damaged for the third time in two months," said Dadek.
High rainfall causes the river to overflow and erodes the Pidie-Meulaboh national road. Dadek explained that the characteristics of the national crossroad were indeed traversed by river currents. So, there is no other way than to make a special culvert line underneath.
"So the Pidie-Meulaboh route was passed by the river, then it was added to the road. In the future, the culvert must be made," said Dadek.
Furthermore, Dadek revealed that the Pidie-Meulaboh national crossing route was actually not as crowded as the Meulaboh-Banda Aceh route. But he hopes there will be planned improvements so that the route is not only handled by emergency lines.
The loss due to the incident was estimated at Rp. 2 billion.
The National Road Hall of the Aceh Region on November 16, 2018 has repaired or opened an emergency lane for a while in a national cross that has collapsed due to the overflow of the Bale River.
The national highway of Tangse-Meulaboh in December 2018 has collapsed twice due to the rain and overflow of the Bale River, Blang Bungong Village, Tangse District, Pidie.
