JTD aims for six Jakarta toll roads to start in 2015

Jakarta Tollroad Development (JTD) has said it aims to start construction of the six Jakarta inner city toll roads in the middle of next year. The project, nearly 70km in total and much of it elevated, is at the detailed engineering design stage. The toll roads will connect all five of Jakarta’s municipalities. The first construction stage involving the Semanan-Sunter-Pulogebang toll road is expected to US$1.20 billion. Total cost for the whole project is estimated at up to $3.2 billion. According to

Jakarta Tollroad Development (JTD) has said it aims to start construction of the six Jakarta inner city toll roads in the middle of next year.

The project, nearly 70km in total and much of it elevated, is at the detailed engineering design stage. The toll roads will connect all five of Jakarta’s municipalities.

The first construction stage involving the Semanan-Sunter-Pulogebang toll road is expected to US$1.20 billion. Total cost for the whole project is estimated at up to $3.2 billion.

According to a report by the %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal Jakarta Post Visit Jakarta Post Website false http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2014/07/26/construction-six-inner-city-toll-roads-begin-next-year.html false false%> in July, the project is scheduled to be completed in 2018 with tolls being paid on all roads by 2022.

Jakarta deputy governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama said at the time that he expected construction of all six roads would be carried out simultaneously, instead of several stages as previously planned.

To cope with the consequences, including severe traffic gridlock, Ahok said the city would restrict the use of vehicles in the capital by applying electronic road pricing (ERP), as well as providing free-of-charge double-decker buses in an effort to coax motorcyclists onto public transportation.

“I think we can also limit the distribution of subsidised fuel in Jakarta,” he said.

The toll roads also will have dedicated lanes for Transjakarta buses.

    Early detection of pavement defects and the causes of deterioration is essential for effective maintenance planning, writes Dr Alena Uus* There is a need for optimisation and development of UK highway survey methods that would provide comprehensive information on the surface and subsurface pavement condition and operate at traffic speed, which eliminates the requirement for lane closures. Performance of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods commonly employed in pavement condition surveys can be potent

    Norway’s new Hardanger Bridge is not carrying enough traffic according to the latest data available. According to the statistics for July 2014, some 3,500 vehicles/day crossed over the Hardanger Bridge (Hardangerbrua) in Norway. This was a notable increase from the 2,450 vehicles/day using the link in June 2014. This is higher than the normal volumes due to high levels of summer vacation traffic. However, it is not sufficiently high to hit the planned average of 1,950 vehicles/day for the whole year. The r
