JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to build 10 through roads or missing links in the capital this year. The DKI Jakarta Bina Marga Office has allocated a budget of around Rp. 200 billion for its construction. Head of the DKI Jakarta Highways Agency, Hari Nugroho, said that the construction of new roads as an effort to break up congestion was carried out at the earliest in March. "This month we have an inventory of the missing link plans. Hopefully in March we will start the action," Hari told reporters, Thursday, February 2. Hari revealed that the land acquisition area on the 10 roads varied. He gave an example, there are still locations that still require land acquisition of 10 fields, some that leave acquisition on 2 land parcels. Once there is a road where the land acquisition has been completed, Hari continued, the construction of the road construction can be immediately started. However, it is not certain that the construction of ten roads can be carried out at the same time, depending on the process of completing land acquisition. "As soon as (land acquisition) breaks, we can enter directly in March. But later there will also be new work we can make," he explained. Furthermore, Hari explained, road connecting work is more effective than widening the existing roads. Both do need the process of land acquisition owned by residents. However, he said, land acquisition for a road through is easier. "If the missing link has taken advantage of the land acquisition that we have done. Now, now there is only a little (which needs to be released), we beat it, we open it. It will be a tremendous impact," he said. Meanwhile, in planning road widening, the side of the road that needs to be released, according to Hari, it is more difficult to do from the side of an agreement with the affected residents. "For example, I want to widen the road, I need land acquisition like yesterday, there were a lot of rejections. But now, I want to free up a large land (for missing links), now there are only two fields. Open it, it will immediately become a wide road," continued Hari. The following is a list of 10 locations where the road will be made through: 1. Jalan Tembus Boulevard - Pegangsaan Dua - Kelapa Gading - Pulogadung Terminal 2. Jalan Tembus Rusun Pulo Gebang - Jalan Sejajar Tol 3. Jalan Tembus KH Mas Mansyur - Jend Sudirman 4. Jalan Tembus Pemuda - Jalan Waru 5.
