Tapsel Kebut Bronjong Jalan Sawmill dan Cut Aek Natas, Serap TKD Rp 2,99 Miliar

Thecuy.com, Tapanuli Selatan – The Tapanuli Selatan district government, through the Public Works and Spatial Planning Service (PUPR), has accelerated the construction of a road protection barrier (bronjong) in Sawmill Hamlet, Pardomuan Village, South Angkola District. The project also includes cutting work in Aek Natas, with a total budget of Rp 2,999,890,000 from the Additional Regional Transfer (TKD) for the 2026 fiscal year.

Work is being carried out on the Batas Kota Gua Asom – Batas Angkola Sangkunur road section, which was previously considered prone to landslides after being hit by a flash flood. In addition to maintaining residents’ transport access, the project aims to reduce the risk of the road body being cut off and to prevent river overflows from entering the road body.

According to information from the Tapanuli Selatan PUPR Office, the bronjong project is being carried out at a riverbank protection point in Sawmill Hamlet, stretching approximately 200 metres. In the same package, the local government also added cutting work in Aek Natas as part of the security of a road section that has several vulnerable points.

The Head of the II Road Construction Division of the Tapanuli Selatan District PUPR Service, Andri Agusman Harahap, said that the work began with a Work Commencement Order (SPMK) on 26 October 2026 and is expected to be completed at the end of November 2026.

“Regarding this bronjong, the project is called the Construction of a Road Protection Barrier at Batas Kota Gua Asom – Batas Angkola Sangkunur, South Angkola District. The SPMK was initially issued on 26 October 2026. The target completion is in November, end (end of November). The contract value is Rp 2,999,890,000 (almost Rp 3 billion),” said Andri Agusman.

He explained that the handling was carried out to secure the road so that it would not collapse again and to prevent river water from entering the road body. According to him, the work package consisted of three handling points that were still within one road section.

“The bronjong work here is around 200 metres. And there is also additional cut-ing in Aek Natas. One package. Because we have one road section. Three points. So there are three jobs. This one is for road security so the road doesn’t collapse again. The other is to prevent water from the river from entering our road body again,” he said.

On site, the physical work on the bronjong continues to be accelerated gradually. Workers arrange river stones into the bronjong wire baskets with a construction height of about three metres. In the section that suffered the most severe damage, stretching about 80 metres, the retaining structure was reinforced with a four‑layer bronjong arrangement. Meanwhile, the relatively safer section was fitted with three layers.

The Project Foreman from CV Tondi Simbolon, Ali Akbar Daulay, said that the bronjong installation was carried out up to six levels with four layers at the main point, stretching about 80 metres. He estimated that the work could be completed in about one month.

“We are installing bronjong. This bronjong is installed six levels high, with four layers, stretching about 80 metres. The total length is 80 metres at the main point, and there are four layers. I think it will be finished in about a month. End of November,” said Ali Akbar.

Ali Akbar also said that the material requirements at the site were currently available. “As for our needs, everything is safe, the stones are safe, the wire is also abundant now,” he said.

Didanai TKD Tambahan 2026

This project uses the allocation of Additional TKD for the 2026 fiscal year, which is a central government transfer fund outside the regular TKD that can be used by regions to address disasters, improve public services, or other urgent needs. In Tapanuli Selatan, this fund is utilized for infrastructure work related to the recovery and security of disaster‑prone road access.

In a statement from the local government, this infrastructure handling is in line with the direction of the Master Plan for the Acceleration of Post‑Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (Renduk PRRP) of Sumatra 2026‑2028. The document places the recovery of land transport and the reinforcement of riverbanks as part of efforts to restore connectivity in disaster‑affected areas with a build back better, safer, and sustainable approach.

The use of Additional TKD is also said to be in line with the central government’s policy encouraging regions to immediately realize the budget to accelerate recovery and disaster mitigation. In instructions conveyed to regional heads, the additional budget can be used to build or strengthen roads, bridges, disaster‑prone infrastructure, up to disaster prevention and handling training activities.

Serapan TKD Tambahan Tapsel baru 18,35 procent

According to data from the Directorate General of Regional Financial Management of the Ministry of Home Affairs as of 30 October 2026, the absorption of Additional TKD in Tapanuli Selatan Regency was recorded at Rp 46.9 billion, or 18.35 percent of the total allocation of Rp 255.9 billion. At the provincial level, North Sumatra, the realization of Additional TKD spending reached Rp 1.90 trillion, or 29.91 percent of the total ceiling of Rp 6.34 trillion.

In comparison with two other provinces in Sumatra that also received additional allocations, Aceh recorded a realization of Rp 788.5 billion, or 40.22 percent of the total budget of Rp 1.96 trillion, while West Sumatra recorded a realization of Rp 0.86 trillion, or 32.94 percent of the total ceiling of Rp 2.62 trillion.

The utilization of Additional TKD for the bronjong project in Tapanuli Selatan shows that post‑disaster infrastructure handling does not only target large projects, but also small road sections that play important roles in residents’ mobility and distribution of agricultural products. For the residents of Sawmill Hamlet and surrounding areas, the presence of the bronjong is expected to provide greater protection to the road body and settlements near the riverbank.
