Nine
bridges in East Java are in critical condition, according to a national road
construction and maintenance unit.
East Java
Public Works Agency’s Bina Marga unit chief, M. Dachlan, said that the bridges
included Porong Bridge in Sidoarjo, Semampir Bridge in Kediri, Kali Brantas
Bridge and Lespadan Kali Brantas Bridge in Nganjuk, Gadjahmada Bridge in
Mojokerto, Wringinanom Bridge in Probolinggo and Sembayat Bridge in Gresik.
Dachlan
said that the East Java administration had set aside Rp 10 billion (US$1.09
million) to investigate and repair the bridges.
“The funds
come from the central government as the bridges belong to them. But we will
also disburse funds for minor maintenance work,” Dachlan said Tuesday as quoted
by tempo.co.
Dachlan
pointed out that the Lapindo mudflow in Sidoarjo had caused land subsidence,
which went on to cause cracks in the bridge’s construction.
Most of the
bridges were in critical condition because of foundation displacement, he said.
