he stalled "Becakayu" toll road, which will connect Bekasi in West Java and Cawang and Kampung Melayu in East Jakarta, will soon undergo a road test, an official said.
“I hope in October we can undergo the test,” Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) head Herry Trisaputra Zuna said on Monday as quoted by kompas.com. Becakayu is an acronym of Bekasi, Cawang and Kampung Melayu.
The two road sections nearly ready for inauguration was the 1B section connecting Cipang Melayu and Pangkalan Jati and the 1C section, which would connect Pangkalan Jati and Jaka Sampurna, Herry said, adding that President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo was scheduled to inaugurate them.
The construction of the 21.04-kilometer toll road had been idle for about 20 years before a consortium of construction companies took over and restarted the project in late 2014.
The toll road is expected to be fully operational next year. (fac)
