"We have allocated budget this repair and spotlight installation in 61 pedestrian bridges. If the city budget was ratified, we would immediately draft auction documents and make a contract for maintenance and repair,” said Head of Jakarta Transportation Department, Andri Yansyah, Wednesday (11/25).
