More flyovers to be completed

JAKARTA (JP): Two more flyovers are expected to be completed
next month, Governor Surjadi Soedirdja said.

The projects, which are part of the city's 1992-1997 plan, are
badly needed to help ease the city's severe traffic congestion.

"I expect both projects to be completed next month," the
outgoing governor said.

The two projects are part of the 25 flyovers planned for the
1992-1997 term, he said. The last of the other 23 were completed
in the last couple of months.

The city is planing to construct another 46 flyovers and
underpasses before 2003. "The plan to construct 46 more projects
is fixed, but, it will be conducted in stages, based on the
city's financial situation," Surjadi said.

Of the 46 more projects, 23 will be developed by the city's
public works agency, 11 in cooperation with private investors and
the remaining 12 by the Ministry of Public Works' directorate
general of highways. (ste)
