JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya (Persero) as a Toll Road Business Entity (BUJT) has a mandate to develop the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS) network.

Citing the official Instagram account @pupr_bujt, Saturday, November 15, PT Hutama Karya held an important role in the development of JTTS after receiving a mandate through Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 100 of 2014 which was later updated to Presidential Decree Number 117 of 2015.

The BUJT is transformed from the private company Hollandsche Beton Maatschappij to the State Company (PN) Hutama Karya in 1960, which in the early stages focused on construction services and national infrastructure development.

"In 2014, PT Hutama Karya officially received an assignment from the government to develop JTTS through Presidential Decree 100/2014 which was later updated to Presidential Decree 117/2015," reads the account statement.

Currently, the toll roads managed by PT Hutama Karya have reached 13 toll roads. In detail, as many as 11 segments are located on the island of Sumatra and two other sections are in the Jabodetabek area.

In detail, the 13 Hutama Karya managed toll roads, including the SigliBanda Aceh Toll Road; the Kuala TanjungTebing TinggiParapat (PT Hutama Marga Waskita); PekanbaruPadang Toll Road (PekanbaruXII Koto Kampar & PadangSicincin); PalembangIndralaya Toll Road; BengkuluTaba Penjung; IndralayaPrabumulih Toll Road; and Binjai' Pangkalan Brandan Toll Road.

Then, the Indrapura 'Kisaran Toll Road; Pekanbaru'Dumai Toll Road; Betung 'Tempino' Jambi Toll Road; Big Flying Highway 'Pematang Panggang' Kayu Agung; JORR S Toll Road; and Tanjung Priok Access Toll Road.

There are several innovations of PT Hutama Karya in toll road management, such as animal crossings. In corridors such as the Pekanbaru Toll Road "Dumai and the Sigli 'Banda Aceh Toll Road, facilities such as elephant bridges (underpasses) are used, reptile crossings and primate bridges to maintain wildlife migration routes and reduce conflicts between vehicles and habitats.

Then, there is the sound barrier. On the Tanjung Priok Access Toll Road, PT Hutama Karya applies a sound barrier or noise barrier at points adjacent to settlements, hospitals and schools. The installation functions to reduce the noise level of vehicle traffic in order to maintain the comfort of the community around the toll corridor.

Then, the last innovation was a continuous bridge (Sei Wampu Bridge). The Sei Wampu Bridge on the Binjai 'Pangkalan Brandan Toll Road, was built with a long span steel frame structure without pillars in the middle. This design allows the flow of the Wampu River to remain smooth without pillar disturbances, minimize the risk of erosion and maintain the hydraulis capacity of the river.
