Rp188 Billion Bulak Kapal Flyover in Bekasi to Start Construction in November
Acting on presidential direction, the Public Works Ministry plans to issue the work-commencement order in early November for the 500-meter flyover, targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2028.
Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono reviewed the Bulak Kapal Flyover site in Bekasi on October 30, confirming that construction of the Rp188 billion project is set to begin in November 2026, following a directive from President Prabowo. The Public Works Ministry's highway directorate (Bina Marga) is scheduled to issue the work-commencement order (SPMK) in early November, with completion targeted for the first quarter of 2028. The structure spans roughly 500 meters and must follow rail-owner PT KAI's clearance specification of 7.5 meters above the tracks.
The government signaled it is prepared to accelerate the schedule should land acquisition and utility relocation be resolved quickly. The flyover addresses chronic congestion at one of Bekasi's busiest rail crossings, and with an order valued at this size about to become effective, contractor mobilization and early contract-stage reporting — schedules, work plans and progress documentation — will begin within weeks. The winning bidder has not been publicly announced, and project-level technology procurement typically follows the main construction package.
