Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on Thursday awarded the prime construction contract for completion of the Aceh West Coast Highway project to a partnership between South Korean and Indonesian firms.
The partnership between Ssangyong Engineering, Construction Co. Ltd. of South Korea and PT Hutama Karya of Indonesia will receive the US$108 million contract for the construction and rehabilitation of 115 km of road extending from Banda Aceh to Calang, the US Embassy said in a press statement.
The project is scheduled to be completed by February 2010.
"With this award, the Banda Aceh-Calang road project can now complete its journey from conceptualization to finalization," USAID Mission Director William M. Frej said.
Aceh bore the brunt of the December 26, 2004 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated part of the province and killed more than 200,000 people.
