Indonesia is one step closer to improved regional connectivity as PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA) announces that the construction of the Probolinggo-Banyuwangi (Probowangi) Toll Road Package 3 has reached 74.9% completion. Expected to be operational by the end of 2025, the project is set to ease congestion, cut travel time, and enhance logistics efficiency in the East Java region.
Currently, travel between Probolinggo and Banyuwangi relies on provincial roads, often leading to heavy traffic and delays. The new toll road aims to reduce travel time by up to 50% and lower logistics costs by 10-20%, making transportation more efficient for businesses and residents alike.
Technology-Driven and Sustainable Development
To ensure precision and efficiency, WIKA has integrated cutting-edge technology into the project, including Building Information Modelling (BIM), 3D mapping, and drone-assisted land surveys. These advancements not only improve construction accuracy but also minimize environmental impact.
As part of its commitment to sustainability, WIKA is also investing in environmental and social initiatives. The company has planted trees, developed flood prevention systems, and built essential village infrastructure to support local communities.
