Plans in hand for new Indonesian tolled highway projects

Plans are moving forward in Indonesia for the development of a major new tolled highway project. Jakarta Tollroad Development is at present working on purchasing the land required for a key section of the toll road. The new route will run from Sunter in North Jakarta to Semanan in West Jakarta. The plans call for the project to be completed before the Asian Games in 2018. The first phase of the project is for the 20.23km Semanan-Sunter section and the 9.44km long Sunter-Pulogebang stretch. The second phase is for the 12.65km Duri Pulo and Kampung Melayu section in East Jakarta as well as the Kemayoran to Kampung Melayu  stretch in Central Jakarta. The third phase is for the 8.7km long from Ulujami in South Jakarta to Tanah Abang in Central Jakarta. The fourth phase is for the 9.15km section from Pasar Minggu to Casablanca in South Jakarta. Indonesia’s Public Works and Public Housing Ministry is in charge of acquiring the land, while the road infrastructure will be built by Jakarta Tollroad Development once the land has been purchased.
