BEKASI: The Public Works Agency has made a Rp 14 billion (about US$1.5 million) budget request in a bid to repair flood damage to some 20 percent of the city's roads.
Of the city's total 940 kilometers of road, 118 km were damaged in the floods, which also affected Bekasi.
"We have given our proposal to the central government," Public Works Agency head Agus Sutyasno said.
Most of the damaged roads are those under central government authority as many of them are inter-province roads linking Bekasi with Jakarta.
"Roadwork could begin at any time, even before the funding comes through," Agus said.
