<![CDATA[The Pesaguan-Kendawangan road section is a strategic corridor connecting industrial areas with ports in Ketapang Regency. The intensity of mining and industrial activities has significantly increased traffic loads, requiring a comprehensive evaluation of road infrastructure conditions. This study aims to assess the condition, determine the type of treatment and cost requirements on the Pesaguan-Kendawangan road section and which is a connecting road section of the industrial area in the Ketapang area. The method used is the Road Condition Index (RCI) approach which is converted into the International Roughness Index (IRI) to assess road conditions. For road improvement/reconstruction needs, the thickness of the pavement components is determined using the 2024 Pavement Design Manual by considering the Cumulative Equivalent Standard Axle Load traffic load of 3.1 × 10⁶ ESA5. The results of the study indicate that the 65.27-kilometer section has a high reconstruction need of 22.90 percent, the IRI value ranges from 1,627 to 16,041 meters per kilometer. Based on the analysis using MDP 2024, there are 5 alternative types of construction for handling the road section, because the regional conditions have limited resources of crushed stone materials, the level of difficulty of the work and difficult access to the work location, so the type of construction for handling Asphalt Concrete Wearing Course (AC-WC) with a thickness of 50 mm and a 300 mm Soil Cement foundation layer was chosen. The conclusion is that the RCI method can be used to evaluate road conditions and the MDP 2024 method can also be used to plan road pavement designs on the Pesaguan-Kendawangan road section.]]>
