Pedestrian tunnel planned for Kota

JAKARTA: The Jakarta administration plans to build a 109-meter pedestrian tunnel connecting the Kota railway station in West Jakarta to the Bank Mandiri building across Jl. Pintu Besar Utama.

"We are organizing the tender process," said City Transportation Agency Rustam Effendy Sidabutar on Monday.

Rustam said that the development of the tunnel would cost around Rp 22 billion and would be completed within a year.

"Hopefully, the tunnel will be operational by the middle of 2006," he said. --JP
