According to him, the Ambar Bridge met the\nrequirements for this designation as it has stood for more than 50 years\nand remains an inseparable part of the local community\u2019s daily\nactivities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe designation was carried out through a process of study,\nresearch, and recommendations from the National Cultural Heritage Expert\nTeam (TACBN),\u201d he said. He added that cultural heritage status is\nnecessary to ensure that historical assets are clearly inventoried so\nthey can be protected, developed, and utilised without losing their\nhistorical essence. \u201cThe Ministry of Culture will certainly undertake\ninterventions such as revitalisation so that the Ampera Bridge can be\ndeveloped and utilised without losing its historical value,\u201d he\nnoted.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Mayor of Palembang, Ratu Dewa, expressed that the\nAmpera Bridge was designated as national cultural heritage because it\nholds many assets and historical values from various historic buildings\nand infrastructure.
