        "summary": "The Bekasi Regency prioritised the construction of three sections of the Kalimalang Inspection Road, with overall road stability now reaching 85 per cent. A dedicated budget of over Rp100 billion has been allocated, primarily leaving only maintenance and the completion of complementary facilities such as medians. Delays persist on certain median works in Tambun Selatan due to ongoing land acquisition processes and coordination with the Becakayu toll road project.",
        "content": "<p>The Regency Government of Bekasi, through its Water Resources,\nHighways and Construction Department (SDA-BMBK), is prioritising the\ndevelopment of three segments of the Kalimalang Inspection Road,\nsupporting a road stability condition that has now reached 85 per cent.\nHead of Road Development at the SDA-BMBK Department of Bekasi Regency,\nDede Chairul, stated that the three segments cover the city boundary to\nCibitung, the Tegal Gede-Tegal Danas section, and the border with\nKarawang Regency. \u2018Our division\u2019s focus is on these three segments where\nthe flow of two-wheeled and large vehicle traffic is not yet too heavy.\nThese three segments are likely the priority this year,\u2019 Dede said in a\nstatement on Thursday (4\/6). According to him, the Bekasi Regency\nGovernment has allocated a substantial APBD budget over the past two\nyears for the construction of the Kalimalang Inspection Road. Road users\nand the residents of Bekasi Regency can already feel a very significant\nchange. \u2018We have budgeted an extraordinary amount for the Kalimalang\nInspection route, more than Rp100 billion. If we look at the condition,\nits stability is around 85 per cent, so it only needs road maintenance\nand complementary facilities such as utilities,\u2019 he said. Dede explained\nthat the route previously had many points of light to severe road\ndamage. Moreover, there were no barriers or road medians, which\ntriggered arbitrary vehicle U-turns and illegal parking on the road\nshoulders. \u2018Our future focus is to continue the work on road medians on\nboth sides that are still interrupted in the South Tambun District area,\nconstrained by land acquisition which is the authority of the Bekasi\nRegency Housing, Settlement and Land Affairs Office (Disperkimtan),\u2019 he\nclarified. He noted that one of the points that cannot yet be worked on\nis the stretch from the Bekasi City boundary to the Legenda bridge.\nBesides being constrained by the land procurement process, the\nconstruction of the road median at that location also conflicts with the\ndevelopment plan for the Bekasi-Cawang-Kampung Melayu (Becakayu) Toll\nRoad project. \u2018We remain focused on completing the points of road that\nhave suffered severe damage while waiting for the land acquisition\nprocess to be completed. The Kalimalang Inspection Road serves as one of\nthe alternative routes supporting public mobility and connectivity,\u2019 he\nconcluded.<\/p>",
