Prabowo to Inaugurate 895 Police-Built Bridges

The Indonesian National Police has independently built and revitalized 895 bridges across 30 regional police departments, totaling 19.2 kilometers.

President Prabowo Subianto is set to virtually inaugurate 895 police-built bridges across Indonesia, according to a statement from Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi on Thursday. The inauguration will take place on Jalan Bayah-Cikotok in Lebak Regency, Banten, where the Red-White Precision Bridge connects Bayah Barat Village with Darmasari Village.

The Indonesian National Police have independently constructed and revitalized these bridges in 30 regional police jurisdictions, totaling 19.2 kilometers in length. The bridges connect 1,314 villages and are expected to benefit approximately two million residents. By bridging rural areas, these structures improve safety, ease travel, and enhance access to essential facilities such as schools, healthcare, places of worship, and economic centers.

The government praises the Red-White Precision Bridge as a testament to the successful cooperation between the National Police, Indonesian National Armed Forces, local governments, and communities. The initiative showcases the potential for collaborative development to address the urgent infrastructure needs of underserved populations, particularly in regions that have historically struggled with limited access.
