JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will demolish the old monorail project pillars that are stuck along Jalan HR Rasuna Said in the near future. It is recorded that the pile pillar assets belong to PT Adhi Karya (Persero) which is worth billions of rupiah.
Then, what will happen to the assets of the pole after it is dismantled? Head of the DKI Jakarta Binar Marga Service Heru Suwondo said that the poles would later be returned to Adhi Karya even though it was not the state-owned company that carried out the demolition.
"It has been communicated. If we dismantle the pole, we will return it to Adhi Karya. For the building (the pole) is Adhi Karya's asset, but the land is DKI's asset," said Heru at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, January 7.
Heru said the DKI Provincial Government allocated a budget of up to Rp. 100 billion to demolish the old monorail project pillars that were stuck along Jalan HR Rasuna Said and the arrangement of the area.
Heru said the funding was allocated directly from the 2026 DKI Jakarta Regional Budget (APBD). He is optimistic that the DKI Provincial Government has the budget, although it is still in the early years.
"The total is around Rp. 100 billion. The payment is not at the beginning of the year. It depends on the process," said Heru.
Heru revealed that the Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung asked for the demolition of the broken monorail pole in Rasuna Said to be accelerated from the initial plan. The pole will begin to be dismantled next week.
In the initial stage, the demolition will be carried out by the Yellow Force of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Office. Heru emphasized that his party was ready to immediately dismantle the old monorail project pole that was not completed.
"If we want it to be ready. So because Mr. Gub asked to be dismantled next Wednesday, yes we will carry it out. Because all the rules have been fulfilled. So yes we will do the demolition and we will manage Jalan Rasuna Said," said Heru.
In the demolition of the pole, the DKI Provincial Government also carried out pavement arrangement to road repairs. Later, there will be no more separation between fast lanes and slow lanes because the pole in the middle of the lane has been dismantled.
"Later the fast lane and slow lane separators will disappear, just like on the west side of Jalan Rasuna Said. There the road and sidewalk are already neat. So we will make the road the same as Rasuna Said on the west side. Where there is one busway lane, three regular lanes. The east side will be made the same way," he added.
Since a few years ago, the Jakarta monorail project pillars that are stuck along HR Rasuna Said and Asia Africa roads have begun to be considered disturbing.
Initially, the construction of the monorail project in Jakarta began in 2004. At that time, the Governor of DKI was still held by Sutiyoso. The DKI Provincial Government worked together with PT Jakarta Monorail as the developer or investor of the project.
The failure of the project began to appear after several years of construction. When the monorail pole was anchored, DKI Governor Fauzi Bowo (who replaced Sutiyoso) stopped the construction due to financial problems.
In 2014, former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama canceled the contract with PT Jakarta Monorail. In the court's ruling, the assets of the monorail pole were declared to belong to Adhi Karya as the developer of the monorail.
