Bey Optimistic New Walahar Bridge Will Further Support Community Economy

Karawang, West Java (ANTARA) - Acting Governor of West Java Bey Triadi Machmudin is optimistic that the new Walahar Bridge which was inaugurated and is located in Kutapohaci Village, Klari District, Karawang Regency, Wednesday, will further support the community's economy. The reason is, said Bey, this bridge connects two districts in Karawang Regency, namely Ciampel and Klari which are on the border with Purwakarta Regency and helps accessibility for the community, the majority of whom work as traders. "The Walahar Bridge which was just inaugurated is proof of the government's presence in serving and providing convenience for connectivity and access to the community which has implications for the community's economy," said Bey in Karawang. Because, with increased accessibility and connectivity in the region, this new Walahar Bridge will support the improvement of the economy of the surrounding community. "The community really appreciates this bridge. Of course, from an economic perspective, it will make it easier for those who are trying (to trade), and also increase market coverage," he said. The new Walahar Bridge itself was built through a West Java Province financial assistance scheme worth around IDR 52 billion. The new Walahar Bridge is a type of concrete bridge with a width of seven meters with two lanes of vehicles, two directions and a length of 130 meters with three spans. In addition to being a connection between Ciampel District and the Purwakarta Regency border, the new Walahar Bridge can also support tourism access and the South Japek Toll Road and overcome frequent congestion. Previously, the community used the Walahar Dam Service Bridge which was built in 1925 with a width of only three meters. For that, Bey instructed the Karawang Regency Government to follow up on the construction of the new Walahar Bridge with road development so that congestion can be resolved. "The development by the local government related to the narrowing of the road will be widened so that congestion does not occur," he said. (SOURCE)

KDM Affirms West Java's Steps to Support the National Economic Growth Target of 8 Percent

PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi reaffirmed the West Java Provincial Government's commitment to supporting the 8 percent national economic growth target set by the Central Government under President Prabowo's leadership. This was conveyed by KDM—Dedi Mulyadi's nickname—at The Economics 360: Economics & Business Forum 2025 West Java at Bale Gemah Ripah, Gedung Sate, Bandung, Wednesday (11/19/2025). Governor KDM explained that to achieve this national target, West Java is pushing various acceleration measures, ranging from infrastructure development, simplifying licensing processes, strengthening links between education and the world of work, and controlling unproductive public consumption. "Economic acceleration, namely, first, boosting infrastructure, second, simplifying licensing processes, third, promoting education so that our education is geared towards the world of work. And fourth, reducing public consumption," said KDM. KDM emphasized the need for collaboration between various parties to accelerate economic growth. He highlighted a crucial issue: West Java residents' access to electricity payments, which Bank BJB has not yet been able to provide. "West Java has a large electricity user base. But to this day, Bank BJB has not been able to provide electricity payments. I want the PLN Board of Directors to open up opportunities for Bank Jabar (bjb) to become a payment gateway for residents," KDM asserted. Furthermore, KDM emphasized the importance of increasing food production—eggs, vegetables, fish, meat, and rice—and expanding investment in the agricultural sector. He stated that land productivity must be continuously improved through innovation and ongoing mentoring. "Production must be increased. Let's open up investment opportunities and increase food crop productivity," he said. KDM also offered constructive criticism regarding national fiscal justice. He argued that West Java, as an industrial province with a significant tax contribution, has not yet achieved optimal revenue sharing because many companies pay taxes elsewhere—according to the location of their headquarters, not their industrial operations. "If there is industry in one location, the taxes must be paid there. Don't have industry here, but share the profits elsewhere. Where is fiscal justice?" he said. He added that villages serving as industrial locations must also receive priority development—both in infrastructure, education, and health—to ensure their growth as productive and fiscally independent villages. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that West Java's Economic Growth Rate (LPE) in the third quarter of 2025 reached 5.20 percent, or above the national average of 5.04 percent. KDM described this achievement as a strong signal of the effectiveness of cross-sector collaboration in West Java. "West Java's economic growth has always been below the national average. Today, we are above it. This means there is collaborative performance from the regional government, the province, and the business world working simultaneously," said KDM. He assessed that this positive trend is driven by massive infrastructure development, increased investment, and strengthened production activities. KDM projects that the benefits of the infrastructure development being accelerated will begin to have a significant impact in 2026, along with increased employment and industrial production capacity.
