Lippo Village to build tunnel

PT Lippo Village will build a tunnel linking Legok road with the Jakarta-Merak toll road as part of efforts to solve traffic congestion at the gate of the Karawaci toll road.

Traffic congestion is common in the area located just 500 meters from the posh housing complex.

"The project is expected to start at the end of this year or early next year," said Graham Cunningham, an executive of the company.

Antara reported Monday that PT Lippo Village is developing a luxurious housing complex cum business center in a 500 hectare area in Karawaci, 23 kilometers west of Jakarta. (has)
