Govt to build Cinere-Jagorawi toll road in 2009

The Jakarta Post, Depok | Fri, 12/19/2008 6:52 PM  

Next month, the Public Works Ministry is set to commence construction of a toll road between Cinere and Jagorawi, with residential land acquisition and clearing almost complete, a ministry official says. 

The planned road would connect Cinere of South Jakarta with neighboring cities including Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi. 

The ministry's land acquisition team leader, Sugandhi, told tempointeraktif.com on Friday that construction would commence in Harjamukti village, Depok. 

"We have cleared the land, built culverts and brought in some heavy equipment," Sugandhi said. 

The ministry is still in the process of paying compensation to residents of Harjamukti, Cisalak Pasar and Curug villages, he said. 

"We have completed 90 percent of the payments -- worth some Rp 334 billion (US$ 27,8 million) -- for 791 plots of land," he said, adding that on Friday the ministry had paid out Rp 10.2 billion to village residents for 0.8 hectares of land. (ewd)
