RT project operator PT MRT Jakarta is currently preparing to welcome a giant tunnel-boring machine (TBM) to construct its underground routes.
MRT corporate secretary Tubagus Hikmatullah said the contractors were currently completing underground slabs and installing road decking, which would affect Jl. MH Thamrin as it will take up one traffic lane for 50 meters on both sides of the road starting Friday to August 11.
'This August, we will begin to insert the TBM's cutter head. Hopefully, we can launch the tunneling project in the third week of September,' Hikmatullah said over the phone on Thursday.
The tunneling will be conducted from the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle in Central Jakarta to the Senayan traffic circle in South Jakarta.
