Road damaged by heavy trucks

BEKASI: The seven-kilometer road leading to Villa Bekasi Indah
in Jejalen village, Tambun district, Bekasi, is badly damaged due
to faulty drainage and heavy trucks that routinely pass over it,
residents said.

Even worse, during the rainy season, the road becomes flooded,
which only worsens the already-battered condition of the street,
Antara reported.

The road can only support a maximum load of five tons, yet it
is routinely used by trucks carrying loads of no less than 12
tons.

In response to the public outcry, Bekasi deputy regent Dimyati
Syafruddin promised to coordinate with the local public works
agency to restore the road.

"By next year at the latest, the road will have been
restored," Dimyati said, adding that local residents should warn
truck drivers about their loads when passing the road.-JP
