JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of East Java Emil Dardak revealed the development of the Surabaya Regional Rail Link (SRLL) construction project aka the Electric Rail Train or KRL Surabaya.
Emil explained that the construction was carried out to increase the capacity of the main rail network in the Kertasusila or Gresik, Bangkalan, Mojokerto, Surabaya, Sidoarjo and Lamongan gates.
"So one of the backbones, the backbone (which supports the Paperusila Gate Area) is the increase in the capacity of the main train network at the heart of the cities of Surabaya, Sidoarjo and Gresik," Emil said when met after attending The 54th EAROPH Regional Conference 2025 event entitled "Transforming Urban Landscapes: Driving Progress, Innovation and Sustainability for Global Futures" at the Cikini Hotel, Jakarta, Monday, October 6.
Emil said the SRRL project had received financing support from Kreditantstaltfur Wiederaufbau (KFW), which is a German development bank.
According to him, the presence of SRRL will increase the capacity of train transportation by 3 times.
Later, it is hoped that each of these KRL stations can become a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area.
"We have identified the first implementation segment, detailed engineering design (DED) will be our focus for the next year or so," he concluded.
To note, the plan for the railway development project in the 2025 fiscal year (TA) covers a number of regions in Indonesia.
In North Sumatra, Bridge and Railway Improvement will be carried out on the Medan 'Binjai route.
Meanwhile in South Sulawesi, the government has prepared a Makassar Urban Train project.
For the Jabodetabek area, programs included in the priority list include Jabodetabek Railway Capacity Enhancement Phase I, Tanah Abang Station Improvement Phase I, Bekasi Double-Double Track (DDT) Cikarang construction, increasing cross-Citayam' Nambo electrification, improving Tenjo Station, repairing Duri Station, developing rail-based transportation in metropolitan areas to the East'West Line Project Phase I Jakarta Metropolitan Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project.
