Heavy rain in Klungkung Regency, Bali, caused the road connecting\nGetakan Village to Bakas Village in Banjarangkan Subdistrict to collapse\non Tuesday (26 May 2026). This has raised concerns, especially for\nstudents who rely on the route daily.<\/p>\n
Kadek Sugiarta (17), a student from Bakas Village, expressed his\nconcerns when crossing the road. He stated that the Getakan-Bakas route\nis a major path frequently used by schoolchildren.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany students from Bakas and other villages use this route daily to\nattend Smarapura High School. If the road remains like this, it could be\ndangerous,\u201d Sugiarta said when interviewed by detikBali at the scene on\nTuesday (26 May 2026).<\/p>\n
Sugiarta added that while there are alternative routes connecting\nBakas to Banjarangkan, they are less efficient for students due to\nlonger distances.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is another road via Bakas-Banjarangkan, but it is longer and\ntakes more time. Therefore, we hope the collapsed road will be repaired\nquickly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
detikBali observed that the collapsed section of the Getakan-Bakas\nroad had consumed half the carriageway. On the collapsed embankment,\nconcrete road barriers hung precariously. Banjarangkan Police Station\nhad placed warning signs and police tape, while the affected road and\nlandslide area were covered with tarpaulin. Some students were seen\ncarefully crossing the road, and a red-plated vehicle was observed\nturning back, while others cautiously navigated the partially collapsed\nsection.<\/p>\n
In a separate confirmation, I Putu Widiada, the Acting Head of\nKlungkung Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), confirmed that the heavy\nrain was the primary cause of the road collapse. He urged the public,\nespecially drivers, to be more cautious.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge the public to exercise extreme caution when passing through\nthe road, especially when driving during rain,\u201d Widiada said.<\/p>\n
He assured that authorities would not ignore the hazardous\ninfrastructure condition and would coordinate quickly to address it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will immediately process potential budget allocations for road\nrepairs. The first step is to coordinate directly with the relevant\nagency, Klungkung Public Works Department (Dinas PUPR), to ensure prompt\naction,\u201d he added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/getakan-bakas-road-in-klungkung-collapses-due-to-heavy-rain-1779920614", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
