KALIPURO – Gedung mewah milik Dinas Perhubungan Dan Lalu Lintas Angkutan Jalan (DLLAJ) The Watudodol Weighbridge Technical Implementation Unit is now abandoned. The weighbridge adjacent to the beach is still inactive following a departmental transition that was taken over by the Ministry of Transportation.

There is CCTV in the building, set of computers, beds and various office equipment that are neatly stored in the rooms of the building. “Untuk sementara jembatan timbang memang tidatk akif karena masih dalam proses transisi dari Dinas ke kementerian jadi masih menunggu perintah dari pusat,” ujar Nyoman Surya Candra, DLLAJ officer who was on picket yesterday afternoon (4/6).
In some areas outside Banyuwangi there are weighbridges on the island of Java which are still active but are still in the pilot process. Weighbridge like the one in Cirebon, Tuban, cilacap, and Ngawi. Possibly after the decision from the Ministry comes down, Watudodol weigh bridge will be active again.
Temporarily DLLAJ officers were transferred to the Sritanjung terminal. According to Nyoman, Yesterday, the weighbridge was reviewed by ASDP, it is planned to be used as a buffer zone or a place to fill out manifest forms for two-wheeled vehicles in preparation for Lebaran homecoming..
The plan will be implemented from 13 June 2017 until H+7, so that vehicles do not pile up at the port entrance and reduce congestion along the Ketapang-Watudodol road.
"It is possible that the weighbridge will be used as a resting place as well as a place to fill out the two-wheel manifest form", for cars and trucks it is at Grand Watudodol,” tandas Nyoman. (radar)
