Dukuh Atas Pedestrian Deck Enters Tender Phase, Construction to Begin When?

The Dukuh Atas pedestrian deck project has entered the tender phase, with MRT Jakarta targeting the appointment of a contractor to begin construction by November 2026. Agus Trihan, Advisor of the Program Management Office Division at MRT Jakarta, stated that the construction is technically feasible despite its high level of difficulty, as it involves building a steel structure in an area with active traffic. MRT Jakarta has conducted market soundings with several steel construction companies and civil contractors, who have assessed that the project can be executed because the necessary construction technology is already available. One of the main challenges is erecting the steel structure without disrupting traffic flow or public transport operations. Agus noted that the unique circular design of the pedestrian deck was chosen not only for aesthetic reasons but also to preserve the continuity of Jakarta’s urban planning concept, which was originally designed during the era of Indonesia’s first president, Soekarno. The circular shape serves as an orientation point for the city, aligning with the axis that runs from the Pemuda Statue in Senayan, through the Semanggi Interchange and the Hotel Indonesia Roundabout, to the Horse Statue in Monas. The design has received approval from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government as part of the final project concept.
