West Jakarta to build more roads

JAKARTA: The West Jakarta Public Works Agency will soon begin construction of a tunnel beneath the Pesanggrahan toll road in Arjuna, and an overpass above the Meruya-Tangerang toll road.

Agency head Dadang Suwarja said the administration had allotted Rp 20 billion for the projects, the city's official news portal, Beritajakarta, reported on Thursday.

"The tunnel beneath the toll road will connect the northern and southern parts of Arjuna, which was separated by the construction of the toll road," he said.

He said the planned overpass would ease traffic from Tomang to Meruya. -- JP
