        "content": "<p>The collapsed Getakan-Bakas road in Banjarangkan district, Klungkung,\nBali, has begun to be repaired. The Klungkung regency government is now\nconstructing a structural retaining wall (DPT) to secure the road\nconnecting the two villages, which previously collapsed due to heavy\nrain.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the Klungkung Public Works, Spatial Planning, Housing and\nSettlement Areas Agency (PUPRPKP), I Made Jati Laksana, said the repairs\nare being carried out as both an emergency and long-term measure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWork began a week ago. We are carrying out structural retaining wall\nworks on the Getakan-Bakas section. This is to secure the road where the\nembankment is unstable. If it is not addressed promptly, it is feared it\nwill affect public access,\u201d Laksana said when confirmed by detikBali on\nSunday (6\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the repair budget is drawn from the routine\nmaintenance funds of the Klungkung PUPRPKP agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have included this work in routine maintenance activities. So as\nsoon as there is damage or a vulnerable point, we address it immediately\nso it does not worsen and disrupt residents\u2019 mobility,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Workers are currently building the retaining wall structure on the\nembankment side. Stone, steel and wooden formwork materials have been\ninstalled for concreting. The target is for the work to be completed\nsoon so that residents\u2019 activities can return to normal safely.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the condition of the Getakan-Bakas road had been\nconcerning. Heavy rain that fell across Klungkung regency on Tuesday\n(26\/5) caused half the road to collapse.<\/p>\n<p>At the landslide point, the concrete road barrier posts were left\nhanging over the embankment. Banjarangkan police at the time installed\nwarning signs, police tape and covered the landslide area with\ntarpaulin.<\/p>\n<p>The condition raised concerns among residents, particularly students.\nKadek Sugiarta (17), a student from Bakas village, said he was worried\nevery time he passed through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany students from Bakas and other villages pass through here every\nday to go to school in Smarapura. So if the road is like this, it could\nbe dangerous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sugiarta, the Getakan-Bakas route is the main route.\nThere is an alternative Bakas-Banjarangkan road, but the distance is\nlonger and involves a detour, making it inefficient for students. With\nthe construction of this retaining wall, it is hoped that the main\nGetakan-Bakas route can be used safely again.<\/p>",
