# Indonesia Sumatra infrastructure development > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/indonesia-sumatra-infrastructure-development > Updated: 2026-11-08T14:55:50.000Z. Sources: 13. Developments: 3. The Indonesian government is focusing on infrastructure rehabilitation and expansion across Sumatra. In late October 2026, the Sumatra Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Task Force, led by Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian, urged ministries to expedite recovery projects in three provinces. The goal is to complete repairs on schools, homes, roads, and bridges by the end of 2026, despite challenges from secondary floods and landslides. In Aceh, the task force inspected damaged bridges in the Samarkilang area to restore agricultural mobility, with the TNI and Polri supporting the construction of bridges and sanitation facilities. By early November 2026, regional governments shifted focus toward broader infrastructure expansion. West Sumatra prioritized road rehabilitation in border regions, such as the Simpang Koto Baru–Tanjung Simalidu road. Simultaneously, North Sumatra announced a long-term plan to fund village-level roads and bridges through 2030 using provincial budgets. President Prabowo Subianto recently led a cabinet meeting to evaluate one year of progress following disasters in late 2025 that displaced over 2.1 million people. While many services have returned to normal, 12 markets in Aceh remain closed and require urgent repairs. In North Sumatra, reconstruction needs are estimated at approximately Rp30.56 trillion, with the central government having allocated at least Rp12.34 trillion. Plans are being finalized to ensure the continuity of rehabilitation and reconstruction programs through 2028, including preparations for potential hydrometeorological disasters. ## Claims - Interior Minister Tito Karnavian is pushing for accelerated rehabilitation and reconstruction in Sumatra.
