akarta Bina Marga road agency is ready to conduct a trial for the Mampang-Kuningan underpass connecting Jl. Mampang Prapatan Raya and Jl. HR Rasuna Said in South Jakarta. The agency’s intersection construction division head Hananto Krisna said the trial would take place on April 7.
“The [underpass] construction has been 97 percent completed; the trial will be conducted on the same day the construction contract will end,” he said as quoted by kompas.com on Wednesday.
There was still some work that need to be done before the trial, Hananto added, such as the installation of the underpass’ walls, lighting and pumps for its drainage system.
Earlier this month, Jakarta Deputy Governor Sandiaga Uno said the Mampang-Kuningan underpass was expected to alleviate traffic congestion in the area by 30 percent. (vla)
