Jakarta (ANTARA) - State-owned toll road operator PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk has conducted improvement in the quality of toll roads in Bali and Jakarta to support the G20 Summit scheduled in November 2022.

"As of now, PT Jasa Marga Bali Tol (a subsidiary of PT Jasa Marga) has completed the beautification and quality improvement of the toll road. There are several works done, starting from the beautification work by planting mangroves and bougainvillea on the toll road median to beautifying the condition of the toll (road)," Business Director of Jasa Marga Reza Febriano stated at the Public Expose event followed online here on Wednesday.

G20 is an international forum comprising 19 countries and the European Union that work together to handle major issues. Indonesia is holding the presidency of the grouping this year.

The G20 Summit is scheduled to be held in Bali on November 15-16, 2022.

Jasa Marga also conducted renovation work for toll gates and conducted painting on the Bali Mandara toll road.

"We really want to show the best condition of the Bali Mandara toll road that is not only beautiful but also clean and tidy," Febriano remarked.

In addition, Jasa Marga is using solar energy for meeting all the electricity needs for lighting or operational activities on the toll road. In the near future, Jasa Marga will inaugurate the use of solar energy.

Apart from the toll road in Bali, Jasa Marga also improved toll roads that will be crossed by the G20 Summit VVIP groups, starting from access to the Soekarno-Hatta Airport: the Prof. Dr. Ir. Sedyatmo toll road in Jakarta, inner-Jakarta toll roads, to the toll road that serves as access to the Presidential Palace in Bogor, West Java.

"Thus, we are conducting the toll road quality improvement program for all," he remarked.
