The $37BN Road That's Changing a Country

The trans-sumatra toll road is one of the biggest infrastructure projects in southeast asia. The road will stretch for nearly 3,000 kilometers from the port of bakueni in the south to the city of bandaraki in the north. It's part of a plan to build a network of new routes across. indonesia that includes this the. trans-Sumatra Toll Road. The project is part of an effort to improve the infrastructure of the island of sumatra, which produces nearly a quarter of the country's GDP. The island has a small and largely disconnected rail system and traveling by road for any significant distance means you're in for a bit of a bumpy ride. The government wants to reduce the logistic cost and reduce the travel time for people returning from the muslim holiday season of eid al fatir. The toll road will be completed by the end of the year when it will span the entire length of the island. It will be the first of its kind in the world and will cost an estimated $1.5 billion to build. The cost of building the road is expected to be around $1 billion and it will be paid for by a combination of tolls and tolls on the road itself. The first phase of the project will cost around $100 million. The second phase will cost about $200 million and will be complete by the middle of next year. The third and final phase will be funded by a mixture of public and private funds. The fourth and final stage will be financed by a mix of private money and private investment. The fifth and final part of the plan will be built by the government and is due to be completed in the next few years. It is expected that the tolls will not be paid by the public but by the private sector. The final phase is set to cost $150 million and it is planned to be finished in the summer of 2015. The last phase will see the construction of a series of new roads and bridges across the island, connecting towns and cities along the west coast and the more remote western coasts. The construction of the toll road has already begun and is set for completion in 2016. The plan is to connect towns and villages along the western coast with towns and ports and ports to the east. The aim is to make the island more accessible to people from the east and the west. This will help to boost the economic growth. of Indonesia's second largest island, sumatra. It produces nearly a quarter of indonesian's gdp. and it's a major test for the nation's infrastructure. every year hundreds. of thousands of people return to their. home towns and villages in sumatra for the eid holiday season. This is a giant homecoming for people all across. the country. There's even. live coverage of the traffic as hundreds of thousands of people travel back and forth across the country on trains, ferries, planes and ferries. There are special services laid on for. trains ferries and planes there's even. a live live coverage of the traffic as people travel back and back for eid al. fatir, which is a festival of Eid al-Fitr.

The holiday season is also known as the Eid al. al-Adha, or the Festival of the Sacrifice. In Indonesia it's known as " Eid Al-Fitir" or the Feast of the Three Holy Weeks. The Eid Al. Days are a time when people come back to their home towns and villages to celebrate. the festival is also a chance for people to say goodbye to their loved ones.
