The bridge serves as a vital infrastructure link for residents commuting between the Kulon Progo and Bantul regencies.
The dam was officially inaugurated in early 2020 to support regional agricultural irrigation needs.
The facility manages the water flow of the Progo River, one of the largest river systems in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
The park area was specifically integrated into the dam design to promote local tourism and economic activity in the Tuksono village area.
Taman Bendungan Kamijoro is a multifunctional irrigation facility and recreational park situated on the Progo River in the Kulon Progo Regency. The site features a 227-meter-long bridge that connects the Kulon Progo and Bantul regencies. The park area includes landscaped gardens, children's playgrounds, and dedicated walkways alongside the river embankment. It serves as a primary irrigation source for 2,374 hectares of agricultural land in the region. The dam is designed to control river flow and prevent flooding in the surrounding low-lying areas. Visitors can traverse the bridge to observe the sluice gate operations and the river current below.
