JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya Infrastruktur (HKI) reported that the progress of the construction of the Probolinggo Toll Road Banyuwangi Package II STA 09 + 000-20+200 along 11.20 kilometers has reached 81.91 percent until January 2025.

This project is an operational collaboration (KSO) of PT Hutama Karya Infrastruktur (HKI), PT Acset Indonusa Tbk (Acset) and PT Nindya Karya.

"As of January 2025, the progress of this toll road construction has recorded a progress of 81.91 percent," said Director of Operations III of HKI Aditya Novendra Jaya in a written statement, Friday, February 7.

Aditya said that the toll road connecting Kraksaan to Paiton will be connected to the 12.88-kilometer-long Gending'Kraksaan Toll Road which will be opened functionally during the Christmas and New Year 2024 holidays.

He claimed, if later the Probolinggo Toll Road "Banyuwangi Package II is operated, it will accelerate logistics delivery to or from East Java and improve economic conditions around toll roads.

"We ask for prayers and community support so that the construction of the Probolinggo Banyuwangi Toll Road Package II Krakatan 'Paiton can be completed properly and have a positive impact on the people of East Java and its surroundings," he said.

Judging from the structure facility, later this toll road will have one interchange, namely the Paiton STA 19+591 Interchange as an exit and entry access toll roads from Paiton. In addition, this toll road is also designed with a 2x2 lane and a plan speed of 100 km/hour.

For the acceleration of construction in the field, KSO HKI-Acset-NK applies the deep cement mixing (DCM) method. This is a soil repair method used to improve stability and ground power in construction projects by means of land drilling methods and filled with cement.

This method is believed to be effective in repairing unstable soil, so that it can better support the toll road structure.

"The use of the DCM method in the Probolinggo Toll Road Project Banyuwangi Package II is one of the first to be implemented in the construction of toll roads. Usually this method is used by contractors in building types of building and building work," he said.

In addition to the DCM method, the construction of the Probolinggo Toll Road Banyuwangi Package II HKI also implements building information modeling (BIM) supported by the use of light detection and ranking (LiDAR) to produce topographic mapping and 3D model creation from the environment to be built.

By using BIM, Aditya assessed, construction work in the field became more effective due to careful construction planning and details to reduce rework and waste.

The other toll roads that are still in the construction process are the Pekanbaru Ring Road (30.57 kilometers), Betung'Jambi Section 1A, (30.8 kilometers), Betung'Jambi Section IB (31.6 kilometers) and Betung'Jambi Section 2A (35.92 kilometers).
