Citra, Drassindo eye Grogol-Tangerang road<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Citra Group and Drassindo Group have pledged
\ntheir readiness to submit tenders for the government's 30-
\nkilometer Grogol-Tangerang elevated toll road project.<\/p>\n
Bambang Soeroso, chief executive officer of Citra Group's
\nholding company PT Citra Lamtoro Gung Persada, expressed his
\ncompany's ambition to win the bid.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Djoko Eko Suprastowo, an executive with the
\nDrassindo Group, also expressed optimism that his company would
\nwin the bid and expand its toll road operations.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Public Works said earlier that bidding for the
\nGrogol-Tangerang toll road project would begin this year.<\/p>\n
The ministry's director general of highway development,
\nSuharsono Martakim, said the project is now being studied to see
\nhow it might disrupt the Greater Jakarta area.<\/p>\n
\"The evaluation is quite lengthy because the east-west route
\nwas not originally prepared for a toll way,\" Suharsono said.<\/p>\n
Citra Group, owned and controlled by President Soeharto's
\neldest daughter Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana, is a member of the
\nconsortium that has been selected to construct the triple-level
\ntransit system linking Kota (West Jakarta) and Blok M (South
\nJakarta). Construction is scheduled to begin in April.<\/p>\n
Drassindo, meanwhile, now operates the Pondok Pinang-Jagorawi
\ntoll road. It is also developing the Jagorawi-Cikunir, Pondok
\nAren-Serpong, and Kali Malang toll road projects in Greater
\nJakarta. (02)<\/p>",
