🗞️ Today’s Headlines: Canggu’s New Traffic Diversion Made Permanent, Island’s First Waste-to-Energy Plant Breaks Ground

• Attention Canggu visitors: The Badung Regency Police officially announced yesterday that the new traffic diversion and one-way loop system in Canggu’s tourist zone is now permanent. According to a joint statement released yesterday afternoon by the Badung Police Traffic Enforcement Unit and local management authorities, the experimental traffic diversion and one-way loop system on major roads, shortcuts, and beach access routes in the popular tourist hub of Canggu has proven effective in easing widespread congestion after long-term dynamic data monitoring and traffic flow assessments. As a result, police officially declared the new system a permanent traffic regulation yesterday. Starting today, independent travelers planning to rent cars or ride scooters in Canggu must strictly follow the permanent one-way signage and updated road markings. Do not rely on old navigation maps or past driving habits by going the wrong way, to avoid fines and help maintain safe travel during the peak season.

• A new milestone for a green, sustainable island: The island’s first waste-to-energy plant held its groundbreaking ceremony yesterday, aiming to fully improve the ecological environment in central and southern tourist areas. This is a major environmental and public welfare update for the island’s resort landscape. Officials from Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment, Bali’s provincial government, and the National Investment Management Agency attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Bali’s first waste-to-energy low-carbon green project yesterday. At the press conference, officials noted that with the influx of global summer peak-season tourists, daily household waste in tourist areas has neared the saturation limit of traditional landfills. Once completed, this new modern eco-friendly power plant will operate around the clock, using advanced international non-hazardous high-temperature incineration technology to convert daily waste into clean electricity, gradually solving the long-standing issues of waste odors and beach plastic crises in central and southern tourist zones, creating a purer, healthier eco-island environment for independent travelers.
