South coast road in need of repairs

BANYUMAS, Central Java: Holiday revelers who will pass the town have been asked to be aware of the damage to the south coast highway here.

Local Police chief Col. Carel Risa Kotta said on Thursday there were many holes, averaging 15 centimeters deep and between 1.5 meter and 2 meters wide, along Jl. Raya Wangon and Jl. Raya Ngijo. The roads link Banyumas and Kebumen.

"It's very dangerous to drive on the roads. They were repaired just a week ago but now they are broken. We really don't know why," Carel said. (45/edt)
