At the point of Jalan Bandulan Gg 1 due to the landslide disaster, there are residents' houses buried under material. Not far from that point, the Bandulan Baru road bridge also collapsed.

"It turns out that it was because the rainfall was so heavy and long, that the water from above hit here, which eventually became porous and collapsed," said Sutiaji.

Regarding the condition, the Mayor asked the PUPR Department of Malang City to immediately repair the bridge because it is very much needed by the surrounding community. The repair is targeted to be completed before the anniversary of Malang City.
