JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya (Persero) targets the Simpang Indralaya - Prabumulih toll road to start operating in early 2023 as part of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road. Director of Operations III Hutama Karya Koentjoro said that until now the construction process on the Simpang Indralaya – Prabumulih Toll Road has been going quite well, especially regarding the land acquisition process. "In addition to the construction process which has reached 77.35 percent, the land acquisition process on the Simpang Indralaya - Prabumulih toll road is also going very well, reaching 96 percent," said Koentjoro in a statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Thursday, September 15. The smooth process of building the Simpang Indralaya - Prabumulih toll road cannot be separated from the support of the local government so that the company is optimistic that it can be completed on time. The presence of the Simpang Indralaya - Prabumulih toll roads that cross three regencies and cities, namely Ogan Ilir, Prabumulih, and Muara Enim, is expected to shorten the travel time of residents by up to 50 percent from before, facilitate the mobility of logistics needs, and be able to improve economic development in South Sumatra. "The Simpang Indralaya - Prabumulih toll road has a main 65 km road with a planned speed of 100 km/hour. When completed later, it is estimated that it will only take one hour from Palembang to Prabumulih," said Koentjoro. This toll road is also equipped with one toll gate, eight overpasses, 18 bridges, and one rest and service place so that toll road users feel comfortable Hingga saat ini Hutama Karya telah membangun Jalan Tol Trans Sumatra (JTTS) sepanjang 1.066 Km dengan 519 Km ruas tol konstruksi dan 547 Km ruas tol operasi.
