Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has appointed Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi as interim Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR).
This was done because PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono was on official duty abroad for the next few days.
“Ahead of this long holiday, I, as Ad Interim PUPR Minister, accompanied President Jokowi in inaugurating the Tebing Tinggi – Indrapura and Indrapura – Limapuluh Section Toll Roads which are part of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road,” wrote Budi Karya in his personal social media account, quoted, Wednesday (7/2/2024).
Today, it is known that Jokowi inaugurated two sections of the Trans Sumatra toll road in North Sumatra Province.
The Tebing Tinggi – Indrapura toll road is 20.4 kilometers long with an investment cost of IDR 3.06 trillion. Meanwhile, the Indrapura – Limapuluh toll road is 15.6 kilometers long and costs IDR 1.67 trillion.
“This toll road brings many benefits, including saving travel time to and from Kuala Tanjung Port and supporting the Lake Toba Tourism Priority Destination Area. Well… the most important thing is that it can improve the economy in the North Sumatra region,” explained Budi.
