The Governor of Jakarta, Pramono Anung, plans to create a \u2018Love Lock\u2019\nbridge in the Rasuna Said area, South Jakarta. The bridge is being\ndeveloped as part of an urban redevelopment initiative to create a new\nlocal attraction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan to build two pedestrian bridges is currently being\nprocessed by the Jakarta Provincial Government as part of the overall\nregional redevelopment. This is an initiative by Governor Pramono Anung\nto provide a more humane and romantic public space, serving as a new\nattraction while complementing the completed sidewalk and pedestrian\nimprovements,\u201d said the Special Staff to the Governor of Jakarta, Chico\nHakim, when contacted on Friday (3\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
Chico noted that the Jakarta Provincial Government is still\ndiscussing the construction plan through the Highways Agency (Dinas Bina\nMarga). He mentioned that the bridge will be funded by the Regional\nBudget (APBD).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is currently in the early planning stage by the Highways Agency.\nNo exact figures have been set as the Detailed Engineering Design (DED)\nand the budgeting process are still ongoing. Construction will utilise\nthe Jakarta APBD, and we will transparently announce the budget amount\nonce the planning is more mature,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Chico stated that the bridge will feature a modern design and will be\nintegrated with the newly revitalised Rasuna Said area.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe concept is a pedestrian bridge crossing a river (one of which is\nnear the KPK building), featuring special facilities for attaching \u2018love\nlocks\u2019 as a symbol of affection. The design will prioritise modern\naesthetics, pedestrian friendliness, integration with the new face of\nRasuna Said, and will be safe and inclusive,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Chico revealed that the Highways Agency team is currently working on\nthe complete design. Once finalised, the design will be published to\ninvite public feedback.<\/p>\n
Previously, Pramono addressed the specific location of the \u2018Love\nLock\u2019 bridge in the Rasuna Said area, South Jakarta. Pramono emphasised\nthat the location is not a standard pedestrian overpass (JPO), but\nrather a bridge crossing the Cideng River directly in front of the KPK\nMerah Putih Building.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere has been some misunderstanding. The Love Lock is not being\nbuilt on a pedestrian overpass,\u201d Pramono said in the Latumenten area,\nWest Jakarta, on Thursday (2\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
Pramono explained that the intended location is the bridge connecting\nthe HR Rasuna Said area with Jalan Kuningan Persada. According to him,\nthe bridge could later serve as a space for expression for Jakarta\u2019s\nyouth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a river there that connects Rasuna Said with the road in\nfront of the KPK. There is a bridge there that we are building. I hope\nthat, as part of our integrity and to provide space for the expression\nof Jakarta\u2019s youth, it can be built and used for the Love Lock,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rasuna-said-love-lock-bridge-to-feature-modern-design-heres-the-concept-1783047151", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
