Bekasi roads in disrepair

BEKASI: A number of roads in Bekasi mayoralty are in serious
disrepair, forcing vehicles traveling on the roads to drive at
severely reduced speeds.

Antara reported the damaged roads included sections of Jl.
Raya Jatiwaringin, Jl. Perwita, Jl. Noer Ali, Jl. Perjuangan, Jl.
Raya Hankam, Jl. Raya Pekayon, Jl. Juanda and the roads near
Pasar Baru.

Rustam Effendy, a member of the Bekasi Mayoralty Council's
Commission D for development affairs, said the road damage was
largely caused by a poor drainage system along the roads.

"Experience has shown that bad drainage damages asphalt
roads," Rustam said.

The Bekasi Mayoralty Council has called on the Bekasi
mayoralty administration to repair the roads immediately.--JP
