JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) through the Directorate General of Public Works and Housing Infrastructure Financing (DJPI) said the Lauik Sitinjak Flyover construction project in Padang, West Sumatra, was to facilitate the distribution of public consumption needs.

"With the construction of the Lauik Sitinjak Flyover, it is hoped that it can reduce the queue on the Lauik Review incline, thereby facilitating the distribution of public consumption needs," said Director of Road and Bridge Infrastructure Financing Implementation Reni Ahiantini in a written statement, quoted Friday, November 24.

Reni said the construction of the Sitinjau Lauik Flyover aims to improve road quality in order to reduce the risk of traffic accidents due to the very steep slope gradient of existing roads.

Thus, providing a better level of security and safety than the previous conditions for road users.

"The KPBU Flyover project Sitinjak Lauik is on the Lubuk Selasih-City Boundary of Padang. This is a national road that connects Padang City with Solok City. The flow of goods and people from Java Island heading to Padang City passes this route," said Reni.

It is known, the Sitinjak Lauik area is a route that has extreme inclines. Although this route is a national route that has a wide road, not all vehicles can easily pass this route. Heavy vehicles must take the outer side of the road that is sloping in order to gain momentum to climb.

The PUPR Ministry conducted a market sounding for the Sitinjau Lauik Flyover construction project using the Government Cooperation with Business Entity (PPP) scheme on Thursday, November 23.

Through the KPBU scheme, the urgency of providing infrastructure services can be carried out without completely depending on the availability of the government budget.

In addition, the government can provide various facilities and facilities that are expected to accelerate infrastructure development in Indonesia, including through partial construction financing, eligibility support, and government guarantees for the KPBU project.

The KPBU Flyover project Sitinjak Lauik is a project based on initiatives by business entities (unsolicited) which has an investment value of IDR 2.824 trillion with a road length of 2.78 km and a concession period of 12.5 years.
