will enter the Indonesian market and it is estimated, for

Infrastructure
Public Work Department Dedicated to Achieving Infrastructure Building Goals In Line with 100 Day Work Program
Road development should be planned based on where strategic locations are already established. Road development should facilitate integration between sectors and between regions, which is the measure of success for any comprehensive road network. In accordance with the 100 days work program, we have already finished the East Deluge Canal (Banjir Kanal Timur) and we will soon build a channel to direct flood waters into the sea. We have already completed studies on the condition of most reservoirs, dams and irrigation networks in Indonesia with comprehensive plans in place for many of them. Meanwhile, in Sumatra and Sulawesi we are building an additional 695 km of new roads, explained Hermanto.
