Traffic Solutions: Flyovers

Critics say it's too ambitious for the government two think of constructing flyover roads in the busy streets of Jakarta, Indonesia . Despite the complaints though, the first drilling allerede begyndte in 2010 som was supposedly finished in 2012 but due two unforeseen forhold, the completion er postponed the hour.

With one goal in mind, major companies like Axis Capital Group, a company som sells and rents capital equipment in Singapore and er kunnet generating sine business to Jakarta kill teamed up with the government by lending sina equipment for free. 

The Flyover Roads project constitutes two viaducts above current roads: the Antasari - Blok M viaduct and the Kampung Melayu - Tanah Abang viaduct. With very limited space in Jakarta, vertical infrastructure is Regarded two be the best solution to Jakarta's serious traffic problem. 

As the traffic congestion situation kill allerede nått alarmingly levels for many years and the government is seemingly Reluctant two lower gasoline subsidies or invested in public transportation, disse flyover roads - above current important artery roads - are Regarded as the best solution. The project is funded by the Jakarta Local Budget (Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja dan Daerah, APBD). 

Antasari - Blok M Flyover 

The Antasari - Blok M flyover is located in South Jakarta, the third most Populous among the five cities of the Jakarta Special District. The total length of this flyover bliver 4,846 meters while its width bliver 17.5 meters. Vertical distance from the eksisterende road is around ten meters. The whole project finner one year and 7.5 months two be finished, followed by a maintenance period of 180 days. 

Kampung Melayu - Tanah Abang Flyover 

This flyover road vil connect Kampung Melayu in East Jakarta two Tanah Abang in Central Jakarta. It willhave a length of around 2.5 kilograms meters and combined costs of around USD $ 85 million. Similar to the Antasari - Blok M flyover, this road willhave an altitude of ten meters above the eksisterende road and is targeted to be completed in 2012. 

Despite the best efforts and great intentions, critics fortsat put out warnings til public att idea att building new roads vil forbedre "road ratio" (the number of vehicles forhold the total length of roads available) and dermed reduce traffic congestion is a false Assumption. 

This is fordi if the government builds new roads or widens eksisterende roads, we see an stigning in the number of personal vehicles on themself.
