English term or phrase: alignment
What is it meant by alignment here? I think it means 'area of responsibility', but am not totally sure.

---------------------
Regarding the coconut bridge in Lhok Kruet, that is off of the ABC road section, ABC has assessed the bridge and observed that it is indeed in need of replacement soon. ABC has requested that ABC address this issue as it is on their *alignment*.

stretch of road
Explanation:
By extension from the railway use of the term "alignment", I think it means that the bridge concerned is on "ABC's" assigned route. The fact that it then falls to ABC to look after it and be responsible for it is a corollary, but I don't think that is what is directly meant here.

agree  Jack Doughty: Seems an odd word to use. I wonder if it should be "assignment". But that would mean the same thing.
