Abstract

Land transportation plays a vital role in supporting mobility and economic growth. Good road infrastructure facilitates the distribution of goods, improves accessibility, and promotes economic efficiency. However, road conditions often deteriorate due to excessive vehicle loads and extreme weather, necessitating periodic evaluation and maintenance. This research aimed to evaluate the condition of the Kaligunting-Bajulan road section in Madiun Regency, a critical route for regional connectivity and economic activities, and to develop effective repair strategies using the Bina Marga method. Through a visual survey, the research identified significant damage, including potholes, longitudinal cracks, and rutting, primarily caused by traffic volumes exceeding the road's design capacity. The research provided repair recommendations, such as sealing, patching, and repaving, to prevent further damage and restore optimal road functionality. The estimated repair cost amounts to Rp 2,761,123,884, covering the necessary materials, labor, and equipment. This research highlights the advantages of the Bina Marga method in prioritizing repairs and efficiently allocating budgets based on the severity of road damage. Additionally, the findings emphasize the importance of regular assessments and preventive maintenance to prolong road service life and reduce future repair costs. The research offers valuable insights for planning maintenance strategies for other provincial roads in Indonesia, particularly those with similar traffic conditions and damage patterns. The implementation of this method ensures a more structured and sustainable approach to road infrastructure management.
