Presiden Jokowi mengatakan, tol sepanjang 16,7 kilometer tersebut merupakan bagian dari ruas Jalan Tol Bengkulu ke Lubuk Linggau sepanjang 95,8 km. Sedangkan sumber biaya pembangunannya, berasal dari Penyertaan Modal Pemerintah (PMN) melalui Skema Penugasan
“Alhamdulillah pada pagi hari ini, Jalan Tol Ruas Bengkulu-Taba Penanjung beroperasi dan ini akan menunjang mobilitas logistik, mobilitas orang, dan akan memunculkan titik-titik pertumbuhan ekonomi baru,” kata Presiden Jokowi.
Presiden Jokowi berharap, tol ini mempercepat pertumbuhan ekonomi. Selain itu, daya saing Bengkulu juga diharapkan meningkat. “Kita harapkan, ini bisa mensejahterakan masyarakat kita, karena daya saing Bengkulu pasti akan meningkat lebih baik,” ujarnya.
Sementara itu, Menteri PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono mengatakan, untuk Seksi 1 Lubuk Linggau – Kepahiang sepanjang 54,5 km dan Seksi 2 Kepahiang – Taba Penanjung sepanjang 24,6 km, saat ini sedang dalam tahap persiapan. “Sedang persiapan dan diusahakan dalam waktu dekat akan mulai konstruksinya,” ujarnya dalam keterangan resminya.
Jalan Tol Lubuk Linggau – Curup – Bengkulu memiliki total panjang 95,8 km yang terbagi menjadi tiga seksi dan dua simpang susun. Adapun jumlah biaya investasinya sebesar Rp37,61 triliun. Seksi 3 Taba Penanjung – Bengkulu yang dikelola Badan Usaha Jalan Tol (BUJT) PT Hutama Karya (Persero) sejak tahun 2019, telah menjalani Uji Laik Fungsi (ULF) pada April 2022, dan dioperasikan sejak 12 Januari 2023 lalu.
Jalan tol Lubuk Linggau – Curup – Bengkulu akan melintasi Provinsi Sumatera Selatan menuju ke Bumi Raflesia, yang merupakan salah satu sirip dari ruas utama (backbone) Jalan Tol Trans Sumatera yang kelak akan menghubungkan Kota Palembang – Lubuk Linggau dan Bengkulu di Lintas Barat Sumatera.
Kehadiran jalan tol Lubuk Linggau – Curup – Bengkulu yang membentang di antara kawasan hutan dan perbukitan, diharapkan juga dapat mendorong pertumbuhan pusat-pusat ekonomi baru, termasuk ke arah Pelabuhan Baai dan kawasan yang berada di sekitar on/off ramp jalan tol tersebut.
Gulam, salah satu warga Bengkulu yang bekerja sebagai supir mobil rental mengatakan, Jalan Tol Bengkulu-Taba Penanjung membantu dalam mempercepat waktu tempuh. “Biasanya jika dari Bengkulu ke Taba Penanjung bisa 45 menit, sekarang cukup 15 menit,” ujarnya. (asp)
