The construction of an 800-meter access road in Sidakarya, Denpasar, Bali, has been confirmed to be for the Melasti religious rituals, not linked to the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal project. Local authorities and community leaders clarified that this infrastructure aims to provide direct access to the beach for the Sidakarya community's religious practices and is part of the normalization of the Tukad Ngenjung River to prevent flooding.
The project has received approval from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in 2023 and is funded by the Denpasar City Government's 2025 budget. The road, which is now fully completed and measures 6 meters in width, will enable residents to perform their Melasti rituals on their own land, with a purification ceremony scheduled for February ahead of Nyepi in March.
