Remarks of President of the Republic of Indonesia During Inauguration of the Pemali Brebes B Bridge, Brebes Regency, Kalibanger A Bridge, Semarang City, Wonokerto II A Bridge, Demak Regency, Juana I A Bridge, Pati Regency, and Pang I Bridge, Rembang Regency at Pemali Brebes B Bridge, Brebes Regency, Central Java Province, January 3, 2024

Bismillahirrahmanirahim,

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Good afternoon,
May prosperity be upon us all,

Distinguished Minister of of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) and all ministers in attendance,
Distinguished Acting Governor of Central Java along with all regents and mayors in attendance in this afternoon,

After replacing the aging Callendar Hamilton Bridges with three new ones on the southern route of the province yesterday, this afternoon we inaugurated six bridges on the northern route to replace the Callendar Hamilton Bridge, which has been in service for over 40 years.

And, due to their unsuitability for use and the load across these bridges also continues to increase, a new replacement is essential to better accommodate the increasing load, ensuring swift mobility for people, goods, and logistics on these bridges.

And this afternoon, by saying bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I hereby inaugurate Pemali Brebes Bridge in Brebes regency, Pedes Bridge in Brebes regency, Kalibanger A Bridge in Semarang city, Wonokerto II A Bridge in Demak regency, Juana I A Bridge in Pati regency, and Pang I Bridge in Rembang regency.

The construction costs for the six bridges amount to Rp292 billion, contributing to a total investment of Rp705 billion.

That concludes my remarks.

Thank you.

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
