Residents praised the rapid construction by Satgas PRR and the TNI, saying it ends isolation and improves access to schools and health services, while urging a permanent bridge; local involvement in its build was highlighted.",
        "content": "<p>Abdul Salam, a community leader from Kampung Linge, expressed\ngratitude to the Aceh Sumatera disaster recovery and reconstruction\nacceleration task force (Satgas PRR Pascabencana Sumatera) and the\nIndonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) for building the bridge in a\nshort time, allowing people to cross safely again.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We extend thousands of thanks for this bridge. We can now cross\nagain,\u2019 Abdul Salam said in a written statement on Thursday, 21 May\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the bridge is the sole main access for residents from\nfive villages to the regency capital in Takengon. The villages are\nKampung Linge, Jamat, Delung Sekinel, Kutereje, and Reje Payung.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is the only crossing we have to go there. There is no other\nroad, it\u2019s blocked. Our hope is that a permanent bridge will be built\nsoon. Because if it rains, it could gradually collapse,\u2019 Abdul Salam\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, residents said they are greatly helped by the Bailey\nBridge. Daily activities have returned to normal, from children going to\nschool to those who are ill and need quick access to health\nfacilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Praise be to God, in a short time a bridge like this has been built.\nWe are very grateful to the government,\u2019 added Abdul Salam.<\/p>\n<p>Linge Village official Ramidinsah said the Bailey Bridge construction\nalso involved local residents. Before the Bailey Bridge was built,\nresidents relied on an emergency bridge formed through independent\nmutual aid.<\/p>\n<p>The Bailey Bridge over the Kala Ili River was completed by the TNI on\n4 May 2026. Its presence now reconnects five villages that were briefly\nisolated due to the destruction of the old bridge following last year\u2019s\nhydrometeorological disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We thank all parties who have helped. Access for the community is\nnow reconnected,\u2019 concluded Ramidinsah.<\/p>",
