Pramono to Resolve Long-Stalled Railway Road Project in Pasar Minggu

Jakarta - Jakarta Governor Pramono An_ung Wibowo is set to resolve the issue regarding the construction of the road parallel to the railway tracks in the Pasar Minggu area, South Jakarta, which has remained unfinished through seven eras of Jakarta’s leadership.

“The road parallel to the railway in Pasar Minggu, which passes the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), has not been completed under seven governors. Therefore, during a meeting two to three months ago, I decided that this must become a priority to be resolved,” Pramono explained in West Jakarta on Thursday.

Pramono admitted that residents frequently approach him to address concerns regarding the road project.

Consequently, once other projects—such as the revitalisation of Jalan Rasuna Said and the construction of Sumber Waras Hospital—are completed, he will immediately focus on finishing the Pasar Minggu rail-side road as one of the urgent tasks to be addressed.

He hopes that the existence of this road will eventually help reduce the traffic congestion that has long plagued the Pasar Minggu area.

On the same occasion, the Head of the Jakarta Highways Department, Heru Suwondo, stated that his department will undertake land acquisition in the area this year.

Regarding the physical construction, Heru mentioned that work is expected to commence in 2027.

“God willing, land acquisition will take place this year, and physical construction will follow next year,” Heru explained.
