The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Wed, 06/10/2009 10:26 AM | National
Hundreds of local residents were swarming the Tambak Wedi area in Surabaya, East Java ahead of the inauguration of the Suramadu bridge – Indonesia's longest and first-ever toll bridge – on Wednesday morning.Antara state news agency reported that people, coming from Surabaya and its surrounding area, had started to arrive at 6 a.m., although they were not allowed to enter the inauguration ceremony area.
“It’s fine. It's enough for us to be able to see the bridge,” said Lukman, who came from Driyorejo with his family.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to inaugurate the 5.4-kilometer bridge at 10 a.m. in a ceremony expected to be attended by 6,500 people including foreign guests, state officials and religious leaders. (dre)
