<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palembang <\/b>\u2013 PT Hutama Karya Infrastruktur (HKI) continues the construction of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS), including the 10.24-kilometer Palembang\u2013Betung Structure segment and a rest area located along the Palembang\u2013Betung Toll Road. As of the end of June 2025, the construction progress has reached 52%.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe scope of work carried out by HKI on this project includes the construction of ramps 4, 6, and 8, as well as one rest area located at STA 71+000 on the Palembang\u2013Betung Toll Road. The Palembang\u2013Betung Structure segment will serve as a connector between the Kayuagung\u2013Palembang\u2013Betung and Palembang\u2013Indralaya\u2013Prabumulih toll roads,\u201d said Aditya Novendra Jaya, Director of Operations III.<\/p>\n
The connection between the Kayuagung\u2013Palembang\u2013Betung and Palembang\u2013Indralaya Toll Roads is expected to accelerate logistics delivery and daily travel, which in turn can help boost regional economic growth. During construction, HKI also supports the local economy by employing around 40% local workers and involving small and micro enterprises (SMEs) for transportation and project logistics services.<\/p>\n
The rest area being constructed is a Type A facility, featuring a mosque, public restrooms, restaurants, a repair shop, and dedicated spaces for SMEs. A total of ten SME units are planned to support local economic activity, enabling local businesses to offer food and regional products from Palembang and Betung to toll road users.<\/p>\n
The rest area is also designed with sufficient parking capacity, accommodating up to 157 small vehicles and 40 large vehicles, ensuring user comfort and smooth traffic flow.<\/p>\n
The Palembang\u2013Betung Structure segment presents complex geotechnical challenges, as it is built on peat and soft soils. To address this challenge, HKI has implemented special soil improvement techniques to ensure construction stability and safety.<\/p>\n
HKI is also applying Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction process, from planning and shop drawings to initial volume calculations. A cloud-based data center is used for project information management and collaboration among stakeholders. Additionally, photogrammetry is used to monitor construction progress through aerial imagery from drones, satellites, or digital cameras.<\/p>\n
Environmental concerns remain a key focus for HKI in its infrastructure development. The company is conducting revegetation around the project site to help preserve the ecosystem. It is also implementing optimal construction analysis methods to minimize construction waste, in line with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrior to the construction of the toll road, travel time between Palembang and Betung could take 4 to 5 hours due to heavy traffic on existing roads. With the toll road, travel time is expected to decrease to around 1.5 to 2 hours. We aim to complete the Palembang\u2013Betung Structure segment by August 2025 and hope it will provide tangible social and economic benefits to communities in South Sumatra,\u201d Aditya added.<\/p>\n
Currently, HKI is also working on several other JTTS toll road projects, including the Pekanbaru Ring Road, Palembang\u2013Betung Main Road, Betung\u2013Jambi Section IA, Betung\u2013Jambi Section IB, Betung\u2013Jambi Section 2A, Betung\u2013Jambi Section 2B, Betung\u2013Jambi Section IV, the Medan\u2013Binjai Rest Area, and the Betung\u2013Jambi 1A Rest Area. In addition to JTTS, HKI is also constructing the Probolinggo\u2013Banyuwangi Toll Road Package II and the Jakarta\u2013Cikampek Selatan Toll Road Package 2A.<\/p>\n
