S. Sumatra to build new toll road
PALEMBANG, South Sumatra: State toll operator PT Jasa Marga
and the South Sumatra local government plan to build a 23-
kilometer-long toll road linking Palembang with Indrajaya.
Jasa Marga president Syarifudin Alambai and South Sumatra
Governor H. Rosihan Anwar signed on Thursday a memorandum of
understanding for the Rp 600 billion (US$68.9 million) project.
Witnessing the signing was H Taufik Kiemas, the husband of
President Megawati Soekarnoputri.
Syarifudin said that Jasa Marga had been concentrating its
toll road construction in Java only. The Palembang-Indrajaya toll
road would be the first of its kind built outside Java. -- Antara
