The estimated US$2.94 billion (IDR 24 trillion) contract for the construction of the Jakarta Integrated Tunnel (JIT) project in Indonesia has been awarded to private construction company Antaredja Mulia Jaya (Antaredja), with construction work due to start by the end of 2014.

Antaredja boss Agus Sidharta said that the JIT project will be developed together with the collaboration of investor Bouygues from France. It will consist of two tunnels which will have the twin functions of carrying traffic and flood water on separate levels, and will link Ulujami to Tanah Abang and Pasar Minggu to Manggarai.

The project will also help address the Indonesian capital’s traffic congestion and flood problem. Each tunnel will be 12km in length and 11m in diameter, and will be built five to 15m below the ground.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, the deputy governor of Jakarta, said that the project has been given the full approval by the city government.
