The Jakarta LRT Phase 1B construction project continues to show significant progress. Construction progress has reached 29.17 percent until the third week of September 2024.

This step aims to align the operations of LRT Jakarta in the long term

One of the important milestones being prepared is the test track or trial of the line from Velodrome Station, which is scheduled for September 30, 2024. This trial will mark an important step in entering the next phase of the project, namely checking the constructed track.

PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) together with KSO (PT Waskita Karya Tbk, PT Nindya Karya, and PT Len Railway System) will ensure the readiness of the infrastructure, including the route, track work, and other operational support devices before the trial.

Jakpro Group's Technique and Development Director, Dian Takdir said all these preparations were designed to ensure the safety and smoothness of LRT Jakarta Phase 1B trial.

As part of this preparation, he explained, the relocation of the operational platform of LRT Phase 1A at Velodrome Station from the west side to the east side would be carried out after all inspections were completed.

"This step aims to align the operations of LRT Jakarta in the long term," he explained, Monday (9/30).

He uttered that the trial of the Jakarta LRT Phase 1B line would be executed using the Extraordinary Train after the preparations were completed, and continued with a trial using the MRV (Maintenance Rail Vehicle) and one set of LRV (Light Rail Vehicle).

Then the achievement of building a 1.2-kilometer track from Velodrome to Rawamangun, from the target of 6.4 kilometers on the Velodrome-Manggarai route, reflects the Jakarta Provincial Government's commitment to accelerating the realization of modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly mass transportation for Jakarta residents.

The LRT Jakarta Phase 1B project itself is being worked on from two sides, namely the Velodrome - Pramuka zone and the Pramuka - Manggarai zone. The construction of this line aims to support Manggarai Station as the central station of Jakarta transportation.

With the connection of the Velodrome - Manggarai route, LRT Jakarta is expected to be an effective solution in reducing congestion and encouraging the use of public transportation in Jakarta.

"We're optimistic that this trial will be a positive step towards the completion of LRT Jakarta Phase 1B construction. We also hope that support from the community and all parties can continue until this project is ready to serve Jakarta residents better," he explained.

Through planned steps, he was optimistic that this development could be completed soon to provide easier and more comfortable transportation access for residents.

"We are very focused on every detail of the preparation to ensure that this trial runs smoothly and meets high safety standards. This process is a manifestation of Jakpro's commitment to realizing modern and safe public transportation for Jakarta people," he uttered.
