New toll road in W. Java

JAKARTA (JP): The construction of a 29.5-kilometer toll road
linking Cileunyi and Nagrek districts in West Java will cost
around Rp350 billion (US$152 million), an official has said.

Gandhi Harahap from the Ministry of Public Works, said
Thursday that the Cileunyi-Nagrek toll road, which will be
constructed by PT Wijaya Karya jointly with the state-owned toll
operator Jasa Marga, would be linked to the existing Pandalaran
toll road.

He said that the construction of the planned Cileunyi-Nagrek
toll road will start early next year, and is scheduled for
completion in 1999.

Gandhi added that the new toll road would be opened in phases,
beginning in 1998. (hen)
