JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan inaugurated the declaration of the construction of a transportation hub (transport hub) Simpang Temu Dukuh Atas, which is located on the land of the former Blora Market, Menteng, Central Jakarta.

The Dukuh Atas Intersection is a space for community activities ranging from pedestrians, bicycle users, to public spaces. In this location, an 11-storey building will also be built that can be filled with offices and shops.

"We expect a new atmosphere change, where the construction of Simpang Temu which consists of 2 basements and 11 floors, has a mixed use function. In this case it can be used as an office, retail and transit plaza in the form of drop-on/drop-off Transjakarta and motorcycle taxis. online, as well as plans for the next stage to be connected to Sudirman KCI Station," said Anies.
