JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post) : Governor Sutiyoso briefed Vice President Jusuf Kalla Wednesday over the planned deep tunnel project aimed at resolving chronic water and transportation problems in the capital.
"If the government agrees with the project, we will start construction next year," he told reporters after the meeting.
He said that the 22-kilometer tunnel would also solve flooding in the capital.
"Seeing the many functions of the tunnel, we will push the central government so that the project can be realized," he said.
According to the project designed by the Jakarta Water Supply Regulatory Body, the tunnel, with a diameter of 12 meters, will be built 15 meters below the West Flood Canal from Jl. MT Haryono in East Jakarta to Muara Angke in West Jakarta.
The administration will then construct two levels of roads in the tunnel as well as waste water reservoirs.
Above the roads, the tunnel will be used as a utility duct.
Sutiyoso has briefed members of the House of Representatives and the City Council on the project.
