Rembang Regency Government Accelerates Road Infrastructure Improvements
The Rembang Regency Government continues to accelerate road infrastructure improvements to maintain connectivity between regions. From the beginning of the year until April 2026, a total of 11 road sections have been handled, both those that have been completed and those still under construction.
Head of the Bina Marga Division of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office (DPU Taru) of Rembang Regency, Nugroho, stated that the handling is focused on strategic points with high traffic volume and road conditions that require immediate repair. This program is carried out through the routine maintenance budget.
“In 2026, we started in January, meaning the work we are handling is a continuation. If I calculate the number of road sections, up to now there are 11 road sections,” he said when contacted on Wednesday (15/4/2026).
Several of the roads being handled are continuations of previous projects, such as Wonokerto – Merayun, Sridadi – Padaran, Ngotet – Kabongan Kidul, and Gedangan – Kumendung. Meanwhile, new works include Mondoteko – Seren, Sridadi – Jambangan up to Pantura Pasar Banggi, as well as patching work in the urban area ahead of the holidays.
Repairs are also being carried out on the Kragan – Sedan road section, which has cracks, Japerejo – Pamotan, and Sidorejo – Sedan, which is currently being worked on from the mosque area towards Pasar Sedan. Meanwhile, the Tawangsari–Sidowayah road section has been completed.
“So in total, there are 11 points being handled through the routine maintenance budget. The Sendangasri section will only start tomorrow. At the moment, our focus is on completing Sendangasri,” explained Nugroho.
In its implementation, several road sections will have their quality upgraded using layered construction such as LPA, gravel, and hotmix, adjusted according to traffic load. The Japerejo – Pamotan section, for example, will be strengthened because it is frequently used by heavy vehicles.
In addition, the Rembang Regency Government is also preparing further handling in the eastern and western regions, including access to Karas, Gandri to Kumbo, as well as the formation of a special team for the western region that will start from Ngebrak Village. The repair of the bridge in the Nganguk area, which often collapses, is also a priority.
On the other hand, road quality improvement through the IJD Program is also continuing, including on the Tireman – Japerejo and Landoh – Seren sections. Meanwhile, two projects funded by the 2026 Special Allocation Fund (DAK) are scheduled to begin next May.
“This year’s DAK includes two road works. They are planned for the Banyuurip – Pamotan to Gunem section, and then Kepohagung towards Kerep. The total DAK budget is approximately Rp15 billion,” he concluded.
