JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya (Persero) continues to accelerate the completion of the National Strategic Project (PSN) for the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS). The company also targets JTTS in the two provinces to be connected in 2024.

As of December 15, 2023, the construction progress and land acquisition of the Pekanbaru-Bangkinang toll road (STA 0-9 km) has reached 100 percent; construction work on the Bangkinang-Pangkalan Phase I (Bangkinang-Koto Kampar) toll road along 24.7 km reached 94.18 percent with land acquisition progress of 99.08 percent; and the physical construction progress of the Padang-Sicincin toll road along 36.6 km reached 47.22 percent with land acquisition progress reaching 94.10 percent.

Hutama Karya Tjahjo Purnomo's Executive Vice President (EVP) said that apart from the three sections, Hutama Karya also focused on completing one of the JTTS Phase II sections, namely the Rengat-Pekanbaru Toll Road, Pekanbaru Section, Pekanbaru Bypass, with a total length of 30.57 km.

"Relations between regions through even infrastructure development continue to be pursued through the construction of the Pekanbaru-Bypass Pekanbaru Junction which will connect a number of toll roads in Riau Province, including the section that has been operating, namely Pekanbaru-Dumai," said Tjahjo in a written statement, quoted Thursday, January 4.

Meanwhile, the Pekanbaru-Bangkinang toll road was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in early 2023, but the remaining 9 km of work will soon be carried out by the Provisional Hand Over (PHO) or the First Handover because it has been completed as a whole.

That way, the 40 km Pekanbaru-Bangkinang toll road, will soon be fully connected, and can cut the travel time from 1.5 hours to only 20-30 minutes.

The Bangkinang-Pangkalan Phase I (Bangkinang-Koto Kampar construction section) is equipped with various structural facilities, including 8 bridges, 9 boxes of pedestrian + box culverts, 3 overpasses, 1 interchange, 2x2 lanes with a planned speed of 80 km/hour.

"This section is also functionalized at Christmas and New Year's moments, so that it can facilitate the flow of people's traffic while on vacation. Since being operated specifically, this section has been greeted enthusiastically by the public. From Sunday, December 24, 2023 to Tuesday, January 2, 2024, the total number of vehicles passing is 10,918," he said.

In addition to the three sections, Hutama Karya also worked on toll roads in West Sumatra Province, namely the Padang-Sicincin toll road with ongoing construction progress.

For information, this toll road will have a number of structural facilities, including 14 under bridge bridges, 1 interchange, 3 overpasses, 10 river bridges and irrigation. Meanwhile, this section will also be equipped with a number of lanes, namely 2x2 with a planned speed of 80 km/hour.

In order to accelerate development, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) again gave support for the implementation of the assignment to accelerate the construction of toll roads in Sumatra through the addition of State Capital (PMN) of Rp 28.88 trillion to Hutama Karya.

This is stated in Government Regulation (PP) Number 45 of 2023 concerning the Addition of State Equity Participation in the Republic of Indonesia to Share Capital of the Company (Persero) Hutama Karya.

The approval was stipulated in Jakarta on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, and was promulgated on the same date by the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Pratikno.

To date, Hutama Karya has built a about 1,030 km Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS), including construction support toll roads. The Construction toll road reaches a total length of 305.4 km and 724.6 km of operation toll roads.
