PADANG - PT Hutama Panorama Sitinjau Lauik (HPSL) as the implementing entity of the government's cooperation project with the business entity (KPBU) of the Sitinjau Lauik Panorama I Flyover, said the government had handed over 100 percent of the land for the project's development.
"In mid-April the land was 77 percent, then at the end of April it was 95 percent and as of May 12 it was 100 percent handed over to HPSL," said Corporate Secretary of PT HPSL Lenardo Putra as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, June 2.
In his plan, HPSL will build four bridge units and five roads that connect hilly areas in Padang City to be directly connected to Solok Regency.
For the current development progress, it has reached 18.5 percent where Bridge I is in the stage of work plus excavation at several points. Then, workers have also started installing piles for the construction of Bridge IV, specifically on the edge of the Sitinjau Lauik road.
In general, the contract for the construction of the Sitinjau Lauik Flyover was initially targeted to be completed in October 2027 assuming that the land acquisition process was completed in October 2025. However, with the dynamics in the field, the land acquisition process was only completed in May 2026. Currently, HPSL is conducting a review of the target for the completion of the Sitinjau Lauik project.
Simply put, HPSL together with the contractor is recalculating the additional time due to the late release of the Sitinjau Lauik land, especially the land owned by the people affected by the construction. After that, HPSL will coordinate again with the Ministry of Public Works or related parties.
"So we have a deadline for submitting the application for extension until June 12, 2026," he said.
The Sitinjau Lauik flyover road itself was built on a land area of 17.3 hectares (Ha). The details are 8.81 Ha of protected forest area and 8.49 Ha of community land.
The Layang Sitinjau Lauik Road will connect the cities of Padang and Solok which are part of the national road and the Sumatra cross. The construction of this infrastructure is not only to reduce the number of accidents on extreme routes, but is also projected to accelerate logistics flows and community mobility.
The Rp2.7 trillion project was originally estimated to be completed within 2.5 years of construction and 10 years of operation. The work includes technical planning, road and bridge construction (flyover) along 2.7 kilometers and preservation during operation.
