AHY Reveals 76 Level Crossings in Java-Sumatra Need Immediate Handling

Among them, after our identification, there are approximately 76 level crossings in the Java region and also parts of Sumatra, which indeed need immediate construction, whether it’s railway gates or flyovers or underpasses,” said AHY after a meeting with President Prabowo at the Presidential Palace Complex on Tuesday (12/5/2026). Other illegal crossings located at high-risk points will be closed. AHY assured that his side continues to improve the signalling system and modernise the railway system. “The rest, we will close the high-risk points and we also want to continue improving the signalling system and modernising other railway systems,” he stated. AHY revealed a focus on safety across all public transportation. With safety assured, inter-regional connectivity can run smoothly and will bring positive impacts on the economy. “So the spirit is for public transportation, we prioritise safety, and in the end, inter-regional connectivity can also bring growth and other economic opportunities,” he said.
