Daan Mogot in West Jakarta; and Senen in<br>\nCentral Jakarta; as three underpasses and an overpass will become<br>\noperational.<\/p>\n<p>The City Public Works Agency deputy head Wishnu Subagio said<br>\non Thursday that from the four projects, only the Cawang<br>\nunderpass work had been completely finished.<\/p>\n<p>\"Our construction work on the Senen underpass is 85 percent<br>\ncomplete, the Tomang underpass is 90 percent and the Jl.

Some Rp 68.5 billion<br>\nwas taken from the 2004 revised city budget, which was just<br>\napproved last month.<\/p>\n<p>The administration has been criticized for its inconsistent<br>\npolicies. It has promoted its efforts to improve public<br>\ntransportation by establishing the busway and making plans to<br>\nbuild a monorail, a subway and a river transportation system.<\/p>\n<p>However, the construction of underpasses and overpasses will<br>\nbenefit private car owners, transportation observers said, as it<br>\nwould encourage people to buy new cars.<\/p>\n<p>Overpass and underpass projects<\/p>\n<p>Project Name           Cost              Progress in %<\/p>\n<p>Cawang underpass       Rp 41.1 billion   100 %<\/p>\n<p>Senen underpass        Rp 73.2 billion    85 %<\/p>\n<p>Tomang underpass       Rp 26.57billion    90 %<\/p>\n<p>Daan Mogot overpass    Rp 54.8 billion    83 %<\/p>\n<p>Under the Ministry of Settlement and Regional Infrastructure<\/p>\n<p>Tanjung Barat and Pasar Rebo overpasses   Rp 129 billion<\/p>\n<p>Jl.
