Construction of Jakarta`s subway to start earlier

Jakarta (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - The Jakarta city administration said it will start construction of an underground railway track one year earlier than the original schedule of 2010. 

Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo said apart from facilitating economic development in the city, the project will help provide jobs for 50,000 people. Local products will make up most of the building materials and equipment used in the construction of the project, Bowo said. 

Construction will be handled by a Japanese contractor in cooperation with local partners, Bisnis Indonesia reported.
