JAKARTA: The planned overpass that will connect Tanjung Priok-Semper-Plumpang-Cikunir will need some design adjustments over Pertamina's fuel depot in Plumpang, North Jakarta, an official said Thursday.
"We'll consider making a tunnel to function as a shield to protect the depot and motorists as well," said Waluyo, Pertamina director of human resources Waluyo.
He added the tunnel, which would be 1.25 kilometers long, would prevent unruly motorists from throwing stones or other material that could endanger the largest oil storage facility in the country, which experienced significant damage after a fire in January.
"The tunnel will also protect motorists from possible gas leaks carried on the wind," Waluyo said, adding the plan was still in the early stages. - JP
