JAKARTA - The Bogor-Ciawi-Sukabumi (Bocimi) Toll Road Project, which is being worked on by PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk, is rumored to be taken over by PT Hutama Karya (Persero).

Responding to this, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Endra S Atmawidjaja said that the remaining projects would indeed be transferred to other Toll Road Business Entities (BUJT).

"That's true, if the Bocimi Toll Road to Section 2 is still Waskita, right, there are only a few more. The continuation will be diverted," said Endra when met at the PUPR Ministry Office, Jakarta, Friday, May 26.

Even so, Endra has not been able to reveal which BUJT will take over the toll road project. Because, it is still under discussion, so it has not been decided until now.

"The continuation has been transferred, who doesn't know, right, it's a process. Most likely Waskita hasn't continued," he said.

According to Endra, this step is a form of government justice for projects that have been slowed down due to financial problems.

"Because of Waskita's financial problems, it seems that it is a bit difficult to run investment projects," concluded Endra.

For your information, the total length of the Bocimi Toll Road is 54 Km. For details, namely Section 1 Ciawi-Cigombong along 15.35 Km, then Section 2 Cigombong-Cibadak along 11.9 Km.

Meanwhile, Section 3 Cibadak-West Sukabumi along 13.70 km is currently still in the land acquisition stage with progress of 79.4 percent and Section 4 of West Sukabumi-East Sukabumi along 13.05 km with land acquisition progress reaching 9.9 percent.
