Landslide cuts provincial road linking DIY and Jawa Tengah
The slide hit around 02:30 WIB in Samigaluh, and heavy equipment was deployed to reopen the interregional route.
A landslide cut off access to the provincial road linking Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta and Jawa Tengah in Samigaluh, Kulon Progo, on Thursday. The slide occurred around 02:30 WIB and covered the roadway, making the interregional connector impassable. A joint team then cleared the debris with heavy equipment and water spraying at the site. Efforts focused on removing the soil pile so transport flow between the two regions could resume. The disruption hampered residents traveling between DI Yogyakarta and Jawa Tengah, especially in the hilly Samigaluh area, which is prone to landslides during rain.
