As a result, the 50-metre stretch of the road has\nbeen damaged,\u201d said Slamet Mustafa to ANTARA at the subsidence site on\nSunday.<\/p>\n<p>The company is currently carrying out backfilling of the subsided\nsection at Station (STA) 12 KM+500 Metres on the Tarutung-Sibolga\nhighway so that it can be returned to service.<\/p>\n<p>Mustafa added that the road will be able to be used again by local\nresidents for their activities after Eid al-Fitr 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepairs are likely to be completed after Eid al-Fitr 2026, because\nwe are still waiting for equipment to arrive and be ready for use as a\nnational access route,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>To alleviate the congestion caused by this incident, Mustafa\nexplained that the company will implement traffic management with the\nuse of signage that is easily understood by residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will later open one lane, and we will install signage around\nhere. So motorists can see the signs and reduce their vehicle speed\naccordingly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, four subsidence points are being repaired by HK out of a\ntotal of 100 subsidence points identified on the Tarutung-Sibolga main\nhighway.<\/p>\n<p>Given the severity of the situation, repairs will require\nconsiderable time to complete, according to him.<\/p>",
