Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 The Thousand Islands Water Resources (SDA)\nSub-agency has completed repairs to Sakura Bridge in the Japanese\nVillage area of Untung Jawa Island. The bridge provides access to Sakura\nPark, and the work is intended to make the route easier for residents\nand tourists to use.<\/p>\n
\u201cSteps have been added to improve visitors\u2019 safety and comfort when\ncrossing the bridge, particularly when they stop to take photographs in\nthe area,\u201d Pulau Untung Jawa village chief Muslim said in Jakarta on\nMonday.<\/p>\n
He said the work was needed because the bridge\u2019s surface had been\ndamaged, creating a risk that visitors could slip or lose their balance\nwhile crossing.<\/p>\n
Sakura Bridge is one of the access routes to Sakura Park, a tourist\nattraction on Untung Jawa Island, he added.<\/p>\n
The repairs involved installing steps on the bridge, which is eight\nmetres long and three metres wide. Each step is around 17 centimetres\nhigh, Muslim said.<\/p>\n
Suherman, coordinator of the Untung Jawa Island Coastal Water\nResources team, said 10 team members took part in the work.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe work supports the bridge\u2019s role as an access route for visitors\nto Sakura Park while also improving safety when crossing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Muhadi, 42, a local micro, small and medium-sized enterprise (MSME)\noperator near Sakura Park, said he hoped the repaired route would make\nvisitors\u2019 trips more comfortable and benefit businesses in the\nsurrounding area.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, after the repairs, more visitors will come to Sakura Park\nand business at the nearby MSMEs will pick up,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/regency-completes-sakura-bridge-repairs-to-improve-tourist-access-1792396395", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
