JIS Project Manager of PT Jakarta Propertindo Arry Wibowo explained that the work that was still being completed was currently on the main stadium and interior tidying of all buildings in the stadium area.

"So, it's almost finished. We are currently still on going to complete some work, especially in the main stadium. Then some other remaining work is tidying up the interior area from floors 1 to 9, there are several parts that we need to tidy up," said Arry when met at JIS, Friday, January 14th.

Arry explained that currently the work on the ETFE membrane roof or transparent roof is being completed, after previously installing a metal sheet roof.

Considering that this FIFA-standard stadium has an open and closed roof feature, it is currently also being worked on for the installation process for the open-closed roof frame.

"Hopefully, when all this work is finished, installed properly, all systems can be tested and can be used in mid-March. The target is that the roof of the stadium can be opened and closed," he said.
