Jakarta,
May 2, 2015 (Antara) -- The plan to construct the Trans-Sumatra Toll Road,
which will stretch over two thousand kilometers from south to north

Three years later, in April 2015, the groundbreaking ceremony of this
ambitious project was finally held and officiated by President Joko
"Jokowi" Widodo.
President Jokowi laid the first cornerstone of the Bakauheni-Terbanggi

village, South Lampung district, Lampung province, which is located in
the southern part of Sumatra Island, on April 30.
The project's Bakauheni-Terbanggi Lampung segment is 140.41 kilometers
long and covers the three districts of South Lampung, Pesawaran, and
Central Lampung.
