GOVT TO PROVIDE RP150 BILLION FOR BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION
Ambon, Maluku province, Indonesia, March 7 (ANTARA) - The Public Works Ministry will provide Rp150 billion in the revised 2010 National Budget to build a bridge connecting Galala, Sirimau sub district, with Poka, Ambon bay sub district, a source said.
To be christened Merah-Putih, the bridge will serve as a short cut from Galala and Poka (areas around the the Pattimura international airport) to Ambon city.
"We have been informed that the fund for project will be disbursed this April. We hope the construction of the Rp750 billion project would be started soon," chief of Maluku Public Works office, Antonius Sihaloho, said here on Sunday.
Merah-Putih bridge will have a length of 1,020 meters, a width of 22.7 meters, an a height of 35 meters.
The road passing through the bridge will have four lanes, two in opposite directions and an 80 centimeters wide lane for pedestrians on both sides.
Antonius said the government's plan to allocate Rp150 billion for the project had been proposed by Maluku Governor Karel Albert Ralahalu to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during his visit to Ambon on the occasion of World Peace day on November 25, 2009.
"The president directly requested the Minister of Public Works to provide the fund for the project," he said, adding that the minister had also promised to seek overseas grants so that the project could be realized in the next three or four years.
"The National Development Planning Agency has also listed the project to be funded by foreign loan," Antonius said.***
