Govt Eyes Private Sector to Repair 38 Old Bridges in Java Island: Indonesian Minister

Indonesia’s Public Works and Housing Minister Basuki Hadimuljono on Monday said that the government is planning to repair 38 bridges across Java island.

The project, Basuki said, will be funded by the government-to-business cooperation (KPBU) scheme with the availability payment mechanism (AP).

“We have 38 Callender-Hamilton bridges which were built in the 1970s in Java island. We plan the projects will be funded by the private sector under the AP,” Basuki said during a virtual press conference on February 22.

“Currently, prequalification documents have been processed so that we can immediately implement the projects. Please support us on this,” he added.

Of the 38 bridges, he said, three of them have problems. This includes the collapsed Rembun Bridge in Pekalongan, West Java.
