PTPP Secures Pulau Laut Bridge Project Worth Rp1.02 Trillion
PT PP (Persero) Tbk (PTPP), a national construction and investment company under the auspices of Danantara Indonesia, has once again achieved a significant milestone by securing a strategic infrastructure project: the construction of the Pulau Laut Bridge in Tanah Bumbu Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The project is being carried out through a Joint Operation (JO) scheme, with PTPP as the lead contractor holding a 50% portion, as part of the multi-year development programme for 2026-2028 aimed at improving inter-regional connectivity in South Kalimantan.
The contract signing for the project took place on Monday, 30 March 2026, at the Auditorium of the South Kalimantan Provincial Public Works and Spatial Planning Office in Banjarbaru. The signing was conducted by the Head of the South Kalimantan Public Works and Spatial Planning Service, M. Yasin Toyib, along with the service provider, and witnessed by South Kalimantan Governor H. Muhidin, South Kalimantan DPRD Chairman H. Supian HK, the Provincial Secretary of South Kalimantan, the Regent of Tanah Bumbu, the Regent of Kotabaru, and PTPP’s Director of Operations for Infrastructure, Yul Ari Pramuraharjo.
This multi-year scheme project has a construction implementation period of 1,005 calendar days and a maintenance period of 730 calendar days. The acquisition of this project further strengthens PTPP’s portfolio in the infrastructure sector, particularly in regional connectivity development, while affirming the company’s capabilities as a lead contractor on large-scale projects.
Overall, the construction of the Pulau Laut Bridge is a strategic project supported by financing from various parties. The bridge, located in Batulicin Subdistrict, Tanah Bumbu Regency, is expected to enhance accessibility between Kalimantan Island and Pulau Laut Island. The presence of this infrastructure will facilitate logistics distribution, improve community mobility, and drive economic growth in the area, particularly in Tanah Bumbu and Kotabaru Regencies.
PTPP’s Corporate Secretary, Joko Raharjo, stated that the acquisition of this JO project marks an important momentum for the company to continue contributing to national infrastructure development.
“The acquisition of this project is proof of the ongoing trust given to PTPP in handling strategic infrastructure projects, especially as the lead contractor. We are committed to ensuring that this project runs according to target, both in terms of quality, time, and work safety aspects, so that it can provide optimal benefits for the community,” he said.
Furthermore, PTPP emphasised that its contribution to the Pulau Laut Bridge development aligns with the spirit of Asta Cita—particularly in efforts to equalise infrastructure development and enhance inter-regional connectivity that directly impacts economic growth and community welfare. This demonstrates how PTPP’s involvement in infrastructure projects supports the realisation of a national development vision that is inclusive and sustainable.
