"We will adapt the results of the research and the recommendations of the geological body to the design of the bridge," said Basuki in a statement written Thursday, October 25, 2018. Mr. Basuki explained that his office would also consult the governor and the mayor of Palu about the design.
According to Basuki, the reconstruction of the 250-meter-long bridge will take a year. During a year of improvement, residents can use three other bridges connecting the sub-districts of East Palu and West Palu.

Mr. Basuki also explained that the Ministry of the PUPR would first clean the bridge of the remaining debris. He planned that the bridge of November 6, 2018 be cleaned from the rest of the ruins.
"Then we will only create a bridge with a new design that will become the new icon of the city of Palu," he said.
In addition to rebuilding the yellow bridge, Minister Basuki said the UPPR Ministry would reorganize the tsunami-damaged coastal area. The Ministry of PUPR will also clean the area around Jembatan Kuning and the streets of the city.
"Especially in the center of Palu City and Talise Beach, steps have been taken to restore the socio-economic conditions of the city of Palu," he said.
Arie Setiadi Moerwanto, chairman of the Working Group on Disaster Management in Central Sulawesi, said that after cleaning up the ruins of the Kuning Bridge and the results of the completed geological recommendations, construction would begin immediately with the method of design and construction to speed up the settlement.
The bridge, also called Pont de Ponulele, was completed in 2006. This bridge is the first arch bridge in Indonesia and extends over the Bay of Talise, Besusu and the villages of Léré, in the city of Palu.
