Madiun (ANTARA) - The Madiun Regency Government is ready to implement\na road preservation project under a Government and Business Entity\nCooperation (KPBU) scheme to address limited regional budget capacity\nfor maintaining the quality and sustainability of local road\ninfrastructure. The project is also in line with the 2025\u20132029 Regional\nMedium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD).<\/p>\n
Madiun Regency\u2019s Head of the Regional Development Planning, Research\nand Innovation Agency (Bapperida), Sodik Hery Purnomo, said in Madiun on\nFriday that preparations are under way through the drafting of a\npre-feasibility study, with representatives of the Ministry of Finance,\nCommission B of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) and\nrelevant regional government agencies (OPD) involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the pre-feasibility study is being prepared, all members of\nthe KPBU coordinating team, the working group and the relevant OPDs are\ncommitted to providing data quickly and accurately so that the\nconsultants can produce a comprehensive and objective analysis,\u201d Sodik\nsaid.<\/p>\n
The road preservation, or maintenance, partnership is expected to run\nfor 11 years, with Rp192 billion in investment for the works and Rp49\nbillion in maintenance budget support.<\/p>\n
The Madiun Regency Government will pay the business entity Rp47\nbillion annually through an availability payment for 10 years, starting\nonce the roads are open for public use.<\/p>\n
The plan covers nine road sections, totalling around 50 kilometres,\nwhich are ready for work: Balerejo\u2013Muneng (about 7 km), Klitik\u2013Dimong (8\nkm), Dimong\u2013Mojopurno (9 km), Dungus\u2013Sukosari (6 km), Sukosari\u2013Dagangan\n(3 km), Uteran\u2013the Magetan border (7 km), Bagi\u2013the Ngawi border (2 km),\nPagotan\u2013Dagangan (1 km), and Dolopo\u2013Mojorejo (7 km).<\/p>\n
Sodik explained that the nine sections were selected because mapping\nidentified them as priority routes supporting economic growth centres\nand connectivity between areas.<\/p>\n
He said road infrastructure played a highly strategic role in\npeople\u2019s lives and regional development. It was important for\nstrengthening inter-regional connectivity and supporting economic\nactivity, among other things.<\/p>\n
The project is also in line with the direction of Madiun Regency\u2019s\n2025\u20132029 RPJMD, particularly its goal of providing more adequate,\nevenly distributed and equitable regional facilities and\ninfrastructure.<\/p>\n
Road preservation is therefore an important need that must be\naddressed in a planned and sustainable manner, rather than through\npatchwork repairs that do not last.<\/p>\n
The project also responds to rising infrastructure needs at a time\nwhen the region\u2019s fiscal capacity must be managed carefully.<\/p>\n
The regency hopes the pre-feasibility study will be completed on\nschedule, ensuring the road preservation project is fully prepared\nbefore proceeding to the next stage in accordance with applicable laws\nand regulations.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/madiun-regency-ready-to-implement-ppp-road-preservation-project-1793371967", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
