Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly Urges Government to Find Solutions for Jakarta Monorail Project
MPR Publication - PRESS CONFERENCE
JAKARTA - Chairman of the MPR RI Bambang Soesatyo invites PT Jakarta Monorail, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta, as well as the central government through the Ministry of SOEs and the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, to immediately sit down together to find the best solution in completing the Jakarta Monorail development project. Considering the construction project has been planned for a long time. It started during the reign of President Megawati Soekarnoputri, who inaugurated the construction of the Jakarta Monorail with the Governor of DKI Jakarta Sutiyoso on June 14, 2004.
In 2008, DKI Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo stopped the project. In June 2013, when DKI Jakarta was led by Governor Joko Widodo, work on the Jakarta Monorail project was resumed. Even on October 3, 2013, PT Jakarta Monorail agreed to cooperate with a Chinese SOE, China Communication Construction Company Ltd (CCCC) to develop the Jakarta Monorail project. The signing of the cooperation agreement was witnessed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Shangrila Hotel, Jakarta. Unfortunately, the construction project was then stopped again in 2014 when DKI Jakarta was led by Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama. Until the change of leadership to Governor Anies Baswedan, the fate of the construction of the Jakarta Monorail project has not yet come to light.
"Before the project stalled, the consortium had built 90 units of Jakarta Monorail poles. They were spread out along Jalan Rasuna Said and Jalan Asia Afrika. The investment spent has reached Rp 300-400 billion. The total investment required is USD 1.5 billion or approx. Rp 15-16 trillion, without APBN/APBD, purely Business to Business. China Communication Construction Company Indonesia (CCCI) as an extension of China Communication Construction Company Ltd (CCCC) has prepared the Investment and only need too sort things out in Indonesia, then construction of the Jakarta Monorail can be completed immediately. It is even targeted to be completed before 2024," said Bamsoet after receiving the CCCI board of directors, in the Work Room of the Chairperson of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly, Jakarta, Monday (29/11/21).
The CCCI Directors who attended included President Director Wang Wei, Business Development Director Titien S. Syukur, Marketing Director Fan Wenhua, and Marketing Specialist Larisa Isara.
The chairman of the 20th DPR RI explained that the Jakarta Monorail is planned to have 28 stations with 2 depots. The track length reaches 28 Km. Along 14.3 km, it is on the Green Line which has 15 stations with 1 depot. The routes taken include Madya Stadium - Palmerah - Pejompongan - Karet Interchange - Sudirman Dukuh Atas - North Setiabudi - Kuningan Sentral - Casablanca Interchange - Patra Kuningan - Gatot Subroto - Satria Mandala - Komdak - SCBD - Gelora Bung Karno - Asia Africa - and ends at the North Setiabudi Depot.
"Along the other 13.7 Km Jakarta Monorail is located on Blue Lines which has 13 stations with 1 depot. The routes taken include Kampung Melayu - Tebet - Menteng Dalam - Casablanca Interchange - Prof. Dr. Satrio - Sudirman Sampoerna - Menara Batavia - Karet Interchange - Tanah Abang - Cideng - Kyai Caringin - Tomang - Orchid Garden - and ends at the West Flood Canal depot," explained Bamsoet.
The Head of the Law Enforcement, Security and Defense Relations Agency of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) explained that the MRT and Transjakarta also cross the various routes traversed by the Jakarta Monorail. So it really helps the mobility of residents, encouraging residents to no longer use private vehicles. It also shows the world that the development of mass transportation in Indonesia is not inferior to other developed countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, and Japan.
"Completion of the Jakarta Monorail project can also help tidy up PT Adhi Karya's finances. It also shows the world that the state-owned construction company has successfully become part of the development of mass transportation. So that in the future there will be no more investors who are worried about investing in Indonesia, especially in collaborating with SOEs as an investment partner," explained Bamsoet.
The Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party emphasized that the completion of the Jakarta Monorail project also shows the world that the central government, regional governments, and state-owned enterprises can always synergize and cooperate with each other. Support each other.
"It strengthens Indonesia's position in the eyes of world investors. It shows the world that Indonesia is very serious in working on various development projects. So that not a single development project is stalled," concluded Bamsoet.

PT China Communications Construction Engineering Indonesia (PT CCCEI) has officially commenced the Shiploader 6,000 TPH EPC Project located in East Kutai, East Kalimantan Province. This project marks a significant milestone for the company as it represents the first EPC shiploader project in Indonesia with a loading capacity of 6,000 tons per hour, reflecting PT CCCEI’s strong capability in delivering large-scale and technically complex marine infrastructure.
The project is developed for PT Unggul Abadi Infrastruktur, a subsidiary of PT Indexim Coalindo, and is currently under construction. The scope of work includes the development of a new offshore coal jetty designed to accommodate vessels of up to 100,000 DWT, along with the installation of bulk material handling systems capable of supporting high-capacity coal export operations. The facility is designed to improve loading efficiency through the use of tripper radial conveyors and shiploaders for direct loading to Panamax-type vessels.
A key technical highlight of the project is the shiploader installation methodology. The shiploader equipment is installed using a whole-equipment installation method, whereby the main shiploader structure is delivered and installed as a largely pre-assembled integrated unit rather than being assembled piece by piece on site. This approach demands high-precision engineering, heavy lifting capability, and careful coordination of marine and construction operations, while significantly reducing on-site assembly time, construction risks, and interface complexity. The successful application of this method demonstrates PT CCCEI’s advanced expertise in executing high-capacity material handling systems.
As part of the project, PT CCCEI is also constructing a steel trestle exceeding 440 meters in length, connecting the offshore jetty to the existing land-based conveyor system. This includes the installation of an elevated belt conveyor and integration with an existing jetty structure, requiring precise coordination between marine piling works, heavy structural construction, and mechanical installation activities.
Located in a remote coastal area of East Kalimantan, the project presents considerable logistical and environmental challenges. Limited public infrastructure, long-distance transportation of materials and equipment, and demanding marine construction conditions require meticulous planning and execution. In addition, all works are carried out in compliance with strict environmental management requirements, with careful consideration of tidal conditions and coastal geotechnical characteristics.
The Shiploader 6,000 TPH EPC Project plays an important role in supporting Indexim Coalindo’s long-term production and export strategy by enhancing shiploading capacity and upgrading marine export infrastructure. The additional capacity is expected to improve vessel turnaround time, increase operational efficiency, and provide greater flexibility in handling large-capacity vessels, contributing to a more reliable and cost-effective supply chain.
Through this project, PT CCCEI continues to strengthen its position as a trusted infrastructure contractor in Indonesia. With extensive experience in marine construction and integrated EPC delivery, the company remains committed to supporting the development of strategic infrastructure, particularly in ports, logistics, and industrial facilities. PT CCCEI will continue to contribute to Indonesia’s sustainable economic growth by delivering high-quality projects that meet international standards of safety, performance, and environmental responsibility.

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The 22.13-kilometer Tianshan Shengli Toll Road Tunnel, touted as the world's longest toll road tunnel, officially opened to traffic on Friday (December 26, 2025) local time.
The tunnel, which traverses the central Tianshan Mountains in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwest China, cuts travel time from several hours to just 20 minutes.
As a major route connecting city clusters in northern and southern Xinjiang, the G0711 Urumqi-Yuli Toll Road, including the tunnel, officially began operations on the same day.
Through the existing toll road network, this new route connects the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing region, thus becoming a major hub connecting China's eastern economic belt with countries in the Eurasian region.
"This is an all-weather transportation corridor with high efficiency and large capacity that will significantly enhance the resilience and security of national energy resources and agricultural supply chains," said Huang Tao, Deputy Head of the Transportation Bureau of Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, as quoted by chinadaily.com, Friday (December 26, 2025).
As is known, the Tianshan Mountains stretch for approximately 2,500 kilometers in central Xinjiang, separating Urumqi, the largest city in the north, from Korla, the largest city in the south.
The opening of this expressway will reduce travel time between the two major cities from approximately seven hours to approximately three hours, promoting economic integration between northern and southern Xinjiang and opening a new channel for external exchanges.
"Previously, shipping raw materials from northern Xinjiang to Yuli took three to four days, but now it can be done in one to two days," said Tao Feng, Manager of Yuli Lihua Textile Co., Ltd., adding that the company's transportation costs and time will be significantly reduced.
This toll road was built over five years, with a total length of 324.7 kilometers and an investment value of 46.7 billion yuan (approximately US.63 billion).
"Road construction in the Tianshan Mountains faces extreme challenges at every stage," said Zhou Zheng, project General Manager of China Communications Construction Company.
He explained that the complex terrain along the route includes an 11-kilometer segment featuring 14 bridges and five tunnels, resulting in a bridge-to-tunnel ratio exceeding 90 percent.
The tunnel construction faced world-class challenges due to the project's massive scale. The tunnel is 22.13 kilometers long with a maximum depth of 1,112.2 meters.
The tunnel traverses 16 geological fault zones and faces five major challenges: high earth pressure, strong seismic intensity, stringent environmental requirements, extreme temperatures, and high-altitude conditions.
To address these challenges, Chinese engineers implemented a number of innovative solutions, including constructing environmentally friendly access roads to minimize ecological disruption while increasing material transport efficiency.
They also adopted a construction method that cut the construction time of the main tunnel by more than a quarter and deployed the world's first high-pressure hard rock tunnel boring machine, developed independently by China, to address various inefficiencies in hard rock excavation.
