Work on Indonesia’s massive Trans Kalimantan road link will commence in 2016. The planned route stretches for some 7,600km and the project will be started by the Indonesian Government. The budget for the project is still unclear. The cost of the project was estimated in 2014 at US$496.74 million. More roads will be upgraded in 2016 because many of the country’s provincial and district roads will now feature national road status and will be managed by the central government. Another important project is for the Trans Jabar Toll route. This Toll road will be built by the Media Nusantara Citra Group (MNC). The firm expects to complete the project in the first half of 2017, costing $205.8 million. Once completed, the 15km road will link Bogor to Ciawi and Cigombong.
