Jakarta \u2014 Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung Wibowo is convinced\nthat Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) will become a symbol of\nJakarta\u2019s future, given the internationally-standard stadium\u2019s strategic\nlocation near the Ancol family entertainment precinct and economic\nactivity at Tanjung Priok Port.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am convinced that Jakarta\u2019s future lies in this place,\u201d he stated\nwhilst opening the JIS Ramadhan Festival 2026 in Jakarta on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He noted the location is highly vital. Consequently, the DKI Jakarta\nProvincial Government, through PT Jakpro as a Regional-Owned Enterprise\n(BUMD), is connecting the stadium to the Ancol precinct through the\ndevelopment of an Overhead Pedestrian Bridge (JPO) at Ancol.<\/p>\n
According to him, the principal issue in the JIS area when hosting\nPersija Jakarta football matches, Indonesian national team matches,\ninternational competitions, and international concerts is traffic\ncongestion.<\/p>\n
For this reason, he continued, the first priority is to connect the\nJIS area with Ancol via the overhead pedestrian bridge.<\/p>\n
With the pedestrian bridge in place, spectators can park their\nvehicles in the Ancol area, which has capacity to accommodate tens of\nthousands of vehicles, both cars and motorcycles.<\/p>\n
Additionally, to serve spectators using public transport from across\nJakarta to the JIS area, adequate transport modes are required.<\/p>\n
A dedicated commuter rail station will subsequently be constructed\nbeneath the stadium, connected to other stations in the city centre.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will be a solution to the congestion that often occurs when\nthere are events at this stadium,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that JIS is an international-standard stadium built not only\nto host football matches but also concerts as entertainment for Jakarta\nresidents.<\/p>\n
\u201cJIS is a source of pride and an international-standard stadium that\ncan be widely utilised by Jakarta residents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Previously, PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda), or Jakpro, announced\nthat the pedestrian bridge development connecting JIS to the Ancol\ntourism precinct incorporates Betawi local wisdom philosophy, inspired\nby traditional Betawi headwear.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe JIS\u2013Ancol pedestrian bridge is inspired by traditional Betawi\nheadwear, which symbolises unity through the Gigi Balang ornament\nrepresenting honesty and courage, as well as tiger stripe patterns\nrepresenting strength,\u201d said President Director of PT Jakarta\nPropertindo (Perseroda), Iwan Takwin in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
He noted that this approach ensures visual harmony of the precinct\nwhilst affirming Jakarta\u2019s identity as a modern global city that remains\nrooted in local values. According to him, with an integrated design\nconcept, the pedestrian bridge is not merely a crossing route but an\nelement of the precinct experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe JIS\u2013Ancol pedestrian bridge design adopts the stadium\u2019s primary\nvisual elements, creating a unified spatial flow from the JIS area to\nthe Ancol waterfront,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, at night the pedestrian bridge will be fitted with an\nintegrated lighting system aligned with the stadium\u2019s lamp scheme,\npresenting an iconic visual landscape in northern Jakarta.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pramono-jis-is-not-merely-a-stadium-but-jakartas-future-1772380411", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
