SOREANG — The Bandung Regent claims that all damaged roads in the region will be fully repaired within the next three years.
The Bandung Regency Government has allocated up to Rp1 trillion to fund the project. The remaining damaged roads span approximately 500 kilometers. Repairs will be carried out in stages from the 2025 fiscal year to 2027, depending on the region’s financial capacity.
“Our target is clear—within three years, there will be no more damaged roads in Bandung Regency. Everything will be resolved,” said Dadang after a plenary meeting at the Bandung Regency DPRD Building.
According to him, this program is a continuation of previous efforts. Over the past 3.5 years of his leadership, around 1,000 kilometers of roads have been repaired. However, the number of damaged roads has increased again due to the change in status of several village roads to regency roads.
This year, the local government has allocated Rp300 billion to begin repairs. The remaining budget will be evenly distributed in 2026 and 2027.
One of this year’s priorities is the repair of the 22-kilometer Kendeng–Dewata–Londok section in Pasirjambu District. This stretch connects Bandung Regency with Cianjur Regency and requires Rp44 billion in funding.
“We have addressed residents’ requests. The Kendeng to Londok road will be handled this year. The initial four-kilometer section will be paved,” said Dadang.
He emphasized that inter-regency connecting roads are crucial for both economic activities and tourism access. Therefore, he urged support from the West Java Provincial Government and nearby companies through CSR funds.
The Head of the Bandung Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning Office, Zeis Zultaqawa, confirmed that the increase in road damage was triggered by the change in status of village roads to regency roads. Out of a total of 1,500 kilometers of regency roads, around 1,000 kilometers are already in stable condition.
“There are still 500 kilometers that need attention. Following the Regent’s directive, all are targeted for completion within three years,” said Zeis.
