JAKARTA'S TRIPLE DECKER VIADUCTS

The Jakarta North-South Integrated Toll Road and Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project is Indonesia's largest ever transport infrastructure project, designed to relieve the enormous pressure now faced by the city's transport system. This article gives details of the design and planning work, which have now been completed. The national and local governments conducted studies of Jakarta's mass public transport system and urban arterial road network, which identified corridors for developing road and rail infrastructure. Government policy is that most of the funding should be from the private sector. The Project arose because it was decided to integrate the LRT with the toll road. Its joint venture company CMMP commissioned the HMC group of consultants to prepare: (1) the definitive plan, including plans, profiles, and cross-sections of the toll road and its feeder ramps; and (2) the basic and conceptual design of the highway, interchanges, bridges, viaducts, pavement, tolling facilities, signs, and lighting. The viaducts were designed to carry the toll road on top and the LRT track underneath; precast concrete was chosen because of its advantages. The article discusses the design of three specific sections, the seven viaduct construction methods considered, and the choice that was made.
