Inaugurating Labuan Bajo-Golo Mori Access Road, President: Encourage Regional Development

LABUAN BAJO – President Joko Widodo inaugurated the Labuan Bajo-Golo Mori Access Road, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, on Tuesday, March 14, 2023. The President hopes that the road can encourage the development of Labuan Bajo as a super priority tourist destination.

“This morning we see that the road from Labuan Bajo to Golo Mori has been completed. This will improve connectivity in order for us to develop Labuan Bajo as a super priority tourist destination,” the President said in his remarks as reported by presidenri.go.id.

Not only supporting the development of Labuan Bajo, the President also said that the road connecting Labuan Bajo and Golo Mori can support the development of the surrounding area. The 25-kilometer access road was built with a budget of Rp481 billion.

“The area between Labuan Bajo and Golo Mori will be able to develop well,” he said.

In a separate statement, the Head of the National Road Implementation Center (BPJN) X NTT, Agustinus Junianto, explained that along the access road several bridges were also built with a total length of 175 meters.

“In the construction of this road there are bridges that we built along 175 meters, there are four bridges namely Naganae Bridge, Wae Mburak Bridge, Wae Kenari Bridge, and also Soknar Bridge,” he explained.

Agustinus considered that the construction of the access road could cut travel time from Labuan Bajo to Golo Mori. “Previously, from Labuan Bajo to Golo Mori, we took approximately two to three hours, but now it only takes 30 minutes,” he explained.

Also accompanying the President in the inauguration were Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono, Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung, Governor of East Nusa Tenggara Viktor Laiskodat, and Regent of West Manggarai Edistasius Endi.
