Who repairs what
Nusakti Yasa Weda, head of Bali's public works and housing office (PUPRKIM), confirmed the project. The province will work on sidewalks from the Teges junction to Kedewatan.
Gianyar regency will cover the section from Ubud Palace to the start of the Campuhan Ridge Walk. Together that adds up to roughly 7 km.
Why now
Ubud's sidewalks have been in poor shape for years. The report describes broken slabs, uneven surfaces and large holes that have injured tourists and locals alike.
Officials hope safer walkways will take some cars and scooters off central streets. They also say the design will respect Ubud's cultural character.
What is still missing
The article gives neither a budget nor a finish date. For now this is an announced plan, not a completed project.
The works overlap with other moves to ease pressure on the center, including new traffic rules. How the two will be coordinated is not yet clear.
Link to tourism demand
Ubud draws guests because many cafes, yoga studios and galleries are within walking distance. Broken sidewalks push visitors into taxis even for short hops, which adds to traffic.
The Teges to Kedewatan route runs through the center toward western Ubud, where villas overlook the Ayung river. The stretch to Campuhan leads to one of the area's most visited walking trails.
If the plan goes ahead, these sections will be easier to walk. Until a budget and work schedule appear, it is too early to talk about results.
