Immediately after its collapse, residents worked together to rebuild the bridge temporarily using bamboo. Meanwhile, a permanent bridge was promised by the government. However, no efforts have yet been made by authorities to begin the process.
The bamboo bridge is temporary, built at no cost to the government, by local residents of both Ceningan and Lembongan with mutual cooperation.
Regarding the matter, the Head of the Department of Public Works for Klungkung said the plan has actually been repeatedly proposed to the central government since 2004 through the Department of Public Works Bali Province.
In 2006, there was even a blueprint drawn up for the proposed new bridge, but still the project stalled at central government level and is continuing to wait for the green light.
