Rancamanyar Suspension Bridge, Baleendah, Bandung Regency is not pedestrian friendly. Because a number of iron floor connections on the bridge were damaged and gaping because the bolts were dislodged.
The reporter monitored, Sunday (09/16/2018) at the suspension bridge located in the village of Cilebak, Rancamanyar Village, Baleendah Subdistrict, pedestrians passing through this bridge must be careful.
When stepped on, there was a squeaky sound from the bridge's iron base.
In addition, if not careful, it is feared that the pedestrians fell into the gaping hole.
In addition to being used as pedestrian access, this bridge is also often used as an alternative way for motorcycle users who want to travel to Cibaduyut Bandung.
The damage to the iron base of the bridge connection has long been left. The damage occurred slowly, said Agung (35) who often crossed the bridge.
"It has long been damaged, more than one year," Agung said when found on the bridge.
Not only iron floors, there are also bridge bearings under the bridge supported by a bamboo beam and a piece.
"It's prone to pedestrians, especially at night, the hole can not be seen, it can fall. Damage not only occurs on the bridge base, but under the bridge too," said Agung.
Residents around Rohiman said the damage to the bridge had occurred since many were crossed by motorized vehicles. According to him, when a motorcycle passed through the bridge, the bridge swayed.
"It's prone to breaking up, the article is when the entry and exit hours of work many motorbikes pass on the bridge. The number is hundreds every day, even more," he said.
He hoped the government would immediately repair the bridge, because it was feared to take the toll.
"If during the flood season, Dayeuhkolot and Baleendah Roads will be flooded, usually Banjaran residents who want to go to Bandung use this bridge as an alternative route. Hopefully it will be repaired soon," said Rohiman
