"The bridge that subsided measures approximately six meters in length and 2.5 meters in width," he noted.

This action received appreciation from RW 10 Chairman, Ciracas Urban Village, Sukimin.

"The bridge collapsed as a truck was passing over it at approximately 4:30 PM last Wednesday," he explained.

He hopes the repairs can be completed promptly, as the road is a vital route for residents of Ciracas, Susukan, and Rambutan. Jalan Pule itself is known as a strategic link connecting Jalan Raya Centex and Jalan Haji Baping.

"This road serves as a primary and alternative access for residents' daily activities, including commuting to work, trading, and going to school," he emphasized.
