PeKANBARU - Riau Provincial Government allocated Rp5.3 billion in the Riau Regional Budget (APBD) 2023 for compensation for the construction of flyovers/flyovers at Simpang Garuda Sakti Pekanbaru City.

"The compensation budget will be given to the community who own the land affected by the construction of the freeway," said Head of the Riau Land Settlement and Housing Public Works Agency (PUPR-PKPP), M Arief Setiawan, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, August 10.

The Ministry of PUPR together with the Riau Provincial Government will build a flyover or freeway at the intersection of Jalan Garuda Sakti, Pekanbaru, to overcome congestion that often occurs at the crossroads, especially during peak hours.

In the construction of the flyover, it is divided into two stages, first the central government will build a physical flyover, while the Riau Provincial Government is tasked with acquiring land around the flyover construction site.

"After the land compensation is complete, the Detail Engineering Design (DED) work or detailed design engineering of flyovers will be completed in 2024," he said.

Meanwhile, the flyover is a building built on the highway with the aim of unraveling congestion due to the passing of the two- and four-wheeled vehicle while accelerating travel time.

In addition, his party will also prepare documents as part of preparing prepared road criteria to be proposed in the activity program.

The Riau Provincial Government will build an overpass at the Garuda Sakti intersection, the third flyover, after the completion of the flyover construction at Simpang Harapan Raya - Jl Jenderal Sudirman, and the other at Simpang Enam Arengka I or near the Soekarno Hatta morning market to Jalan HR Subratas.
