Islands in focus: Southern Brebes route passable in a week

C

entral Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo said on Wednesday the main Jakarta-Yogyakarta highway via Brebes Purwokerto, which was blocked by a landslide on the Ciregol stretch in Brebes, would be passable a week after the disaster.

Ganjar said a new route was being constructed around the contours of a hill 4.7 kilometers from the Ciregol road, which was hit by the landslide on April 11.

'€œWe set aside Rp 8 billion (US$600,000) to make the temporary route so the highway could be passable again on April 20. So, don'€™t worry, as it won'€™t be long before residents can engage in every activity and economic access can return to normal,'€ said Ganjar.
