Tjahjo said some part of the toll road is located in a swamp area, therefore it requires a specific technic to develop the toll road, namely through vacuum consolidation method (VCM) technology.
He said if the construction goes as planned, the toll road could start operating this year.
In addition to Indralaya-Prabumulih, the other toll road sections of TSTR that are projected to be completed this year are Sigli-Banda Aceh Section 1, Section 5 and Section 6; Binjai-Langsa and Pekanbaru-Bangkinang toll road section.
