“After inspecting the construction, I am optimistic that Cisumdawu Toll Road will be in operation in 2022,” Coordinating Minister for Investment and Maritime Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said, Thursday (30/09).
According to Luhut, the toll road will cut the travel time among regions in West Java province. For example, it will only take one hour to travel from Bandung to Kertajati. Luhut also expressed gratitude to Ministry of Public Works and Housing for its contribution in building the toll road quickly.
In the meantime, Minister of Public Works and Housing Basuki Hadimuljono reported that the toll road is important and needed to boost economy in the province, including in improving the effectivity of Kertajati airport and Patimban port, as well as in developing the people’s economy in Ciayu Majakuning zone (Cirebon city, Cirebon regency, Indramayu regency, Majalengka regency, and Kuningan regency) and Rebana Special Economic Zone in Cirebon, Patimban, and Kertajati in West Java province.
Basuki also expressed gratitude to the Directorate General of Bina Marga and the Indonesia Toll Road Business Entity (BUJT) for their contribution in accelerating the toll road construction, adding that he has ordered his ranks to continue the construction and expressed hope that there will be no obstacles to finish the project.
