JAKARTA - In early 2021, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) started the construction of two new toll roads, namely the Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawuan (Cisumdawu) Section 6B and Ancol Timur-Pluit (Elevated) Toll Road.
PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono in his remarks said that the two toll road construction contracts were very crucial and their presence was awaited by the public. "Especially for the Cisumdawu toll road, its completion is President Joko Widodo's priority. I hope that with the signing of this contract, the Cisumdawu Toll Road can be operated in 2021 as a support for Kertajati Airport to be fully operational, by reducing the travel time for Bandung to Kertajati Airport to less than 1 hour," said Minister Basuki.
The Cisumdawu Toll Road was built under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. Of the six sections, Sections 1 & 2 were carried out by the Government as part of the viability gap fund (VGF) to increase the feasibility of investing in the toll road and Sections 3-6 are carried out by PT. Citra Karya Jabar Tol (CKTJ) as the investor. The total investment value for the Cisumdawu toll road project is Rp 8.4 trillion. The contract signing for the Cisumdawu Section 6B toll road was carried out by the President Director of PT CKJT Jusuf Hamka together with the General Manager of Division 3 of PT Brantas Abipraya (Persero) Dody Perbawanto.
Meanwhile, the signing of the contract for the construction of the Ancol Timur-Pluit (Elevated) or Harbor Road II (HBR II) toll road was carried out by the President Director of PT Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada Tbk (CMNP) Fitria Yusuf together with the Director of Operations I of PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk Hananto Aji. The total investment value for the Ancol Timur-Pluit Toll Road is Rp 15.8 trillion. (LM)
