“The Central, Provincial, District / City Governments and the community work together to answer the wants and needs of the community. One of them is the Indralaya – Prabumulih toll road, connected to Prabumulih-Muara Enim. This has been on progress of approximately 30 percent, “said HD.

According to HD, the availability of this Toll Road is the best way to answer the need for increasingly modern transportation facilities, so that it requires modern roads as well. However, with the existence of toll roads, HD asked all parties not to ignore the existing roads.

Because there is also a growing economy that needs to be maintained. So, among other ways, for the rest area on the Trans Sumatra toll road in South Sumatra, he asked to use ornaments and buy and sell with local wisdom.

“I urge the investors, the Regent, Mayor to defend local wisdom, starting from local fabrics, culinary delights, and other local artistry. Apart from that, there will be a typical South Sumatra ornament on toll gates with an incline, for example, “he said.

In addition, HD emphasized that toll road construction must have an impact on the economic development of South Sumatra. Due to the existence of the toll road, it will reduce the distance by about 70 percent with shorter travel time reaching districts / cities in South Sumatra. To support this, HD invites people to obey tax payments.
