        "summary": "Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi is overseeing accelerated repairs on the Semarang-Godong road following a dyke breach on the Tuntang River in Tinanding Village on 16 February 2026, which severed the KM 35 stretch entirely. The Public Works Department reports 75 per cent progress on repairs, with plans to complete permanent concrete reinforcement work before Eid, allowing traffic to resume between Purwodadi and Semarang.",
        "content": "<p>Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi conducted a direct inspection of\nrepair progress in Tinanding Village, Godong District. He sought to\nensure that dyke and road repair work would be completed according to\nschedule.<\/p>\n<p>Observations at the site showed that the collapsed dyke had been\nsealed and awaited material hardening, whilst road repairs remained at\nthe base hardening stage. Despite temporary delays caused by water\nseepage from the Tuntang River, work continued to ensure the route could\nbe reopened quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be finished by H-7 Eid. We\u2019re adapting\u2014the important thing\nis that it\u2019s hardened and passable. Once this is done, we\u2019ll shift\ndirectly to the regency road that serves as an alternative route,\u201d\nLuthfi stated in a written statement on Monday (2 March 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He made this statement whilst inspecting the site and issuing direct\ninstructions to the Head of the Central Java Public Works and Spatial\nPlanning Office (DPUPR).<\/p>\n<p>Head of DPUPR Central Java, Henggar Budi Anggoro, said repairs were\nproceeding round the clock. Progress on handling currently stands at\napproximately 75 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, our target for completion within two weeks will be\nachieved. So before Eid, we should be able to reopen it again for\ntraffic activities or movement from Purwodadi to Semarang or vice\nversa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Henggar explained that the initial approach to repair the severed\nroad had planned to use an armco bridge, with materials already\ndelivered to the site. However, following evaluation, another road\nsection was found to have shifted structurally, requiring demolition and\nreconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe total length of missing road is 60 metres. The armco will not be\ninstalled; instead, permanent repairs will be conducted using reinforced\nconcrete pouring,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The Tuntang River dyke in Tinanding Village, Godong, Grobogan,\ncollapsed on 16 February 2026. The incident resulted in total severance\nof the Semarang-Godong road stretch at KM 35, whilst water overflow\ntemporarily inundated surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Ahmad Luthfi had also requested the national Public Works\nMinistry through the Pemali-Juana Large River Basin Authority (BBWS) to\naccelerate closure of the collapsed dyke. He also proposed that Tuntang\nRiver normalisation be conducted urgently to reduce the risk of similar\nincidents.<\/p>",
