The PUPR Ministry rewarded the success of City's PUPR for winning the second place in the assessment in the field of highways sometime ago.
As the construction of this bridge is related to neighboring areas, the office began to coordinate with the Government of Banjar District.
"This is related to land acquisition, we have coordinated with Banjar District Government," she said.
She said the support from the Banjar government and community elements in the border area is very high, because it is an alternative infrastructure that is very beneficial for the community.
