The bridge is a transport link between Nagan Raya Regency and Central Aceh Regency. The Aceh National Road Implementation Agency (BPJN) ended up building a temporary bridge while they waited for the damaged main bridge to be repaired. Now the emergency bridge can be passed by two-wheeled vehicles. Murthala said that after the temporary bridge could be passed by two-wheeled vehicles, many people from Central Aceh are now starting to return to business in Nagan Raya to Meulaboh, West Aceh. People from the central region of Aceh also started buying food in Nagan Raya and West Aceh after the bridge was passable. “Many Central Aceh people sell chillies to Nagan Raya and Meulaboh,” he said. “They (residents of Central Aceh) buy groceries in Meulaboh and Nagan Raya, usually they bring rice when they return to Takengon,” he continued.
