CENTRAL GOVT TO BEAR 42 PCT OF JAKARTA SUBWAY DEVELOPMENT COST
Jakarta, July 27 (ANTARA) - The central government will bear 42 percent of the construction cost of the Jakarta subway while the remaining 58 percent will be borne by the Jakarta regional government, Deddy S Priyatna of the National Development Planning Board (Beppenas) said.
He said that the subway which would stretch from Lebak Bulus in South Jakarta to Dukuh Atas in central Jakarta, was part of the Jakarta Mass Repid Transport system, and was to be funded with soft loans from the Japanese government.
Deddy said that the amount of the soft loans had not yet been decided pending the results of a detail engineering design (DED) whose tender contract was expected to be signed later this month.
"We plan that the design would be finished in two years, or early in 2010 so that by that year the physical construction of the subway would have been started," he said.
Deddy said that the government expected that the subway would have been constructed in 2014 with first phase construction covering the Lebak Bulus - Dukuh Atas section and second phase one covering the Duku Atas - Kota (in West Jakarta) section.
"We basically want to speed up the construction because it takes place in urban areas. It can be imagined how traffic jams would take place from Lebak Bulus," he added.
