Bukittinggi-Sicincin Toll Road Plan Enters Early Public Consultation
Hutama Karya has presented an early plan for a toll road between Bukittinggi and Sicincin in West Sumatra.
The planned route would extend the operating Padang-Sicincin toll road and form part of a corridor linking Padang with Pekanbaru.
The project is still at the planning stage, and the company held a preliminary public dialogue in Padang Pariaman before formal land acquisition preparations.
The proposed route would pass through the Bukit Barisan range using a tunnel, with safety and possible effects on forests and tourism areas under review.
Supporters say a more reliable route could improve connectivity and create opportunities for local businesses and workers, while officials have stressed fair compensation and public input.
Next come land planning and public consultations, leading to a location permit from the West Sumatra governor; details of affected plots are still being examined.
