LAMONGAN - The Lamongan Regency Government is once again accelerating the realisation of road infrastructure through the Jalan Mantap dan Alus Lamongan (Jamula) programme in the 2026 fiscal year. The main focus this year targets the reconstruction of 56 strategic routes with a total length of 40 kilometres. This step represents a systemic effort to erode inter-regional disconnections while optimising logistics distribution in people’s economic centres. Through improved accessibility, barriers to mobilising agricultural products and trade commodities are projected to decline significantly. “The Jamula 2026 programme is a manifestation of the government’s commitment to providing equitable quality infrastructure. Currently, all work packages are in progress, covering calculation phases, aggregate spreading, to permanent concreting,” said the figure familiarly known as Pak Yes in an official statement on Thursday (14/5/2026). Dimensionally, this year’s work is not limited to routine asphalt paving but extends to widening and concrete casting to ensure long-term durability. The main ambition of the Lamongan Regency Government this year is to raise the road stability rate to 63.55 per cent. This physical transformation is expected to reduce vehicle operating costs for the community and increase land value added in rural areas. The Regent emphasised that the effectiveness of infrastructure development greatly depends on the community’s role in maintaining the improved assets. Without collective awareness to comply with vehicle load limits and road drainage maintenance, this investment of trillions of rupiah risks functional degradation prematurely. With the completion of these 56 road sections in the future, Lamongan implicitly sends a message to prospective investors regarding the readiness of supporting business infrastructure. Now, the public awaits the consistency of on-site execution so that the 63.55 per cent stability target is not just a figure on paper, but a testable physical reality.
