Bogor to have ring road

BOGOR: Toll road constructor PT Jasa Marga will start the
construction of a 11.2-kilometer ring road next year that will
connect Baranangsiang-Sentul-Kedung Badak-Cilebut-Cibadak and
Darmaga subdistrict.

Jasa Marga business division head Agung Purnomo said on Friday
the construction would be done in four phases.

"The first step is to construct a 3.8-kilometer road
connecting Sentul and Kedung Badak," he told Tempo News Room.

The first phase of the construction alone will cost Rp 224.3
billion (US$26.4 million), while the toll fee proposed is Rp
2,000.

Agung said a rough estimation of the total cost of the
construction would be about Rp 1 trillion.

"We are still waiting for the project feasibility study," he
said.

According to company spokesman Zuhdi Saragih, the proposal was
in the hands of the Bogor municipal office.

"But the project has to wait because we're still working on
the Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawuan toll road," he said. -- JP
