Residents complain of damaged road

BEKASI: The Alliance of Teluk Pucung Community again told the
Bekasi transportation agency on Wednesday to take firm measures
against large-capacity oil trucks entering the prohibited Jl.
Perjuangan.

Alliance executive Akhmad Supendi said that at least 60 trucks
with a five-ton capacity had entered and left Pertamina's oil
fields in Babelan district via Jl. Perjuangan.

The seven-kilometer road is now closed to heavy vehicles,
pending the reconstruction of the work where large potholes, some
60 centimeters in diameter, has disrupted traffic.

The alliance gave the administration one week to stop the
Pertamina trucks from using the road. "Hundreds of us will hold a
protest rally at the transportation agency office if the
officials cannot meet the deadline," Supandi said.

Mayor Akhmad Zurfaih said that Pertamina had yet to meet its
promise to disburse Rp 8 billion (US$869,565) for roadwork. --
