Jakarta – Since taking office in 2014, President Joko Widodo has focused on infrastructure development as a main pillar to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of the Indonesian people. Under his leadership, various major infrastructure projects have been realized, making Indonesia more connected and ready to face global challenges.
The public also expressed their high appreciation for the achievements of President Joko Widodo’s government. The latest is the construction of the Gedangan Flyover in Sidoarjo, East Java. The construction of this strategic infrastructure is recognized as a real solution to reduce congestion that has so far hampered the mobility of residents and the distribution of goods on the vital route connecting Surabaya-Malang.
During his visit to the Gedangan Flyover project site, President Jokowi emphasized the importance of accelerating development to improve transportation efficiency in the area.
“I give a special message for this flyover to be completed on time, because it is very much needed by the community. This is one of our commitments to continue to improve connectivity and accelerate economic growth,” said Jokowi on that occasion.
The Gedangan Flyover was designed to address the traffic congestion that often occurs in the Gedangan area and its surroundings, especially during rush hours. This flyover is part of a series of leading infrastructure projects initiated by the Jokowi administration to support infrastructure-based economic development in various regions of Indonesia.
Residents who have felt the direct impact of traffic jams in the area have welcomed the acceleration of this development. They admit that the presence of the flyover will shorten travel time, reduce congestion, and provide comfort for road users.
“We are very grateful to President Jokowi and the government for their attention and real follow-up to the traffic jam problem here. We have been waiting for this flyover for a long time,” said one local resident.
In addition to receiving full support from the community, the construction of the Gedangan Flyover was also appreciated by the local government. Acting Regent of Sidoarjo, Subandi, said that this project is a concrete example of synergy between the central and regional governments in realizing infrastructure that is beneficial to the people. “We all witness how the commitment of the central government led by President Jokowi in building infrastructure has brought significant changes to the community, including in Sidoarjo,” said Subandi.
The project is expected to be completed next year, and when completed, the flyover will have a positive impact on the local economy, speeding up the flow of goods and services, and improving the quality of life for residents. This breakthrough adds to the long list of achievements of President Joko Widodo’s administration during his 10-year leadership. Since he first took office, Jokowi has continued to make achievements in the field of infrastructure development, which has not only improved connectivity, but also accelerated economic growth throughout the country.
The government will continue to strive to realize good road access in all regions to facilitate the mobilization of people and goods so that the economy grows. Not only development, the government will also pay attention to the maintenance aspect of the road infrastructure that is built. The success in various infrastructure developments in various regions reflects the government’s commitment to continue working hard to improve national connectivity and improve people’s welfare.
