BANJARMASINPOST.CO.ID, BANJARMASIN - The National Road Implementation Center for Region XI, will soon build a steel portal for the Alalak River Bridge II through the Handil Bakti Terminal, as the only alternative road after the closure of the Alalak II River Bridge, connecting Jalan Brigadier H Hasan Basry, Kayutangi with the Trans Kalimantan Road, Handil Bakti."Yes, we will make a portal of WF steel soon.The material is wide flange (WF).If it is hit, there is a possibility that the car will be destroyed," said Head of the National Road Implementation Unit (Satker PJN) Region I of South Kalimantan, Sahriliansyah, Sunday (23/6/19).According to Iril, Sahriliansyah's nickname, based on a letter from Batola Regent Hj Noormiliyani, the portal will be made permanently.Read: The Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion in South Kalimantan is surprised that there are still South Kalimantan congregations who are determined to bring a rice cookerCurrently, the manufacture of permanent iron is still in the process of making portals with WF iron.WF iron or wide flange is one type of iron that is often used as the iron frame of a building to make it stronger and more durable."Iron with steel construction, I will be very strong," he said.So far, continued Iril, the portal that was installed on the Sungai II Bridge was only light iron so that it broke or was destroyed in one hit.Well, if the portal is made of WF iron or steel, if it is hit by a car, it is certain that the car will be wrecked.The Alalak sub-district head of Batola Regency is also worried that the Alalak II River bridge through the Handil Bakti terminal will collapse.You see, countless more trucks break through the portal and the portal is destroyed."The trucks that pass the Alalak II River bridge exceed the strength of the bridge," he said.He explained that Batola Regent Hj Noormiliyani had sent an official letter asking the Regional XI National Road Implementation Center to build a strong or permanent portal in the steel of the Alalak River Bridge II to pass through the Handil Bakti Terminal.“The regent requested that the portal be equipped with CCTV so that it was recorded whose car hit the portal.If you are on guard 24 hours, it's impossible for either the Transportation Agency or the Traffic Traffic Unit officers," he said.Read: Only 4 cases since the beginning of 2019, South Kalimantan people are considered not to be proactive in seeking public informationThe Head of the Barito Kuala Regency Transportation Service, Drs Syamsul Arifin, requested that transportation cars passing through the Alalak River Bridge II pass through the Handil Bakti Terminal in accordance with the capacity and ability of the bridge so that there is no bridge damage.“We are worried about the condition of the Alalak II Bridge, which is often secretly passed by overloaded trucks, especially at certain hours.Even though we have put up signs, even truck portals with a height of 2.5 and 6 tons of cargo are prohibited from crossing.But still there is a stubborn driver.They usually pass in the middle of the night,” said Syamsul.According to Syamsul, the Alalak II bridge has limited foundation conditions so that it is not suitable for large trucks to pass.Not to mention if the truck gets stuck in the bridge portal when it dares to pass through that path.The Alalak II Bridge, apart from being a route that connects South Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, is also a vital economic route for Barito Kuala Regency.If the Alalak Bridge collapses, it will have a major impact on the economy of Barito Kuala Regency.(banjarmasinpost.co.id/ogi).
