Workers complete the construction of the bailey bridge Kuta Blang road between Banda Aceh-Medan road in Ulee Tutu, Bireuen, Aceh, Tuesday (23/12/2025). The Kuta Blang Bridge, which broke down due to the catastrophic flooding of the Peusangan River on November 26, 2025, was replaced by a bailey bridge that is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, PADANG — The government has completed the construction of 10 emergency bridges (bailey) in three provinces affected by the disaster, namely Aceh, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra. From the press release of the Government Communications Agency (Bakom) RI, in Jakarta, Saturday (27/12/2025), the ten bridges consist of four bridges in Aceh, two bridges in North Sumatra, and four bridges in West Sumatra.
The details in Aceh, namely Teupin Mane Bridge in Bireun Regency with a length of 39 meters, Teupin Redeup Bridge in Bireun Regency with a length of 30 m, Jeumpa Bridge in Bireun Regency with a length of 18 m, and Matang Bangka Bridge in Bireun Regency with a length of 15 m.
In North Sumatra, namely Anggoli Bridge in Tapanuli Tengah Regency with a length of 33 m and Aran Dalu Bridge, Paya Bakung in Deli Serdang Regency with a length of 26 m.
In West Sumatra it includes the Sikabau Bridge in West Pasaman Regency with a length of 18 m, the Padang Mantuang Bridge in Padang Pariaman Regency with a length of 30 m, the Bawah Kubang Bridge in Solok Regency with a length of 21 m, and the Supayang Bridge in Solok Regency with a length of 36 m.
The entire bridge can already be crossed by people and reconnect areas that were previously isolated by the disaster.
Construction of the bailey bridge has been one of the government's main focuses since flash floods and landslides struck Aceh, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra in late November.
This step is done to reconnect areas that were isolated due to the destruction of connectivity infrastructure.
According to data from the Ministry of Public Works (PU), the disaster briefly knocked out 80 national roads and 33 bridges in the three affected provinces.
The Ministry of Public Works (PU), the military, the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB), and a number of other elements continue shoulder to shoulder to accelerate the restoration of the entire infrastructure.
