The discourse on the MRT-LRT-KRL 'Donut' bridge is welcomed by residents

Jakarta -The discourse on a ‘donut’ bridge that will be built in Dukuh Atas, Central -Jakarta, which connects a number of ways of public transport, has received a positive response from residents. They support the plan to build the bridge. This donut-like circular bridge, summarized by Detikcom, is part of MRT Jakarta’s efforts to develop the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) so that mass transport modes can be linked and make access to pedestrians easier. This donut bridge will connect KRL, LRT and Airport Train in Dukuh Atas. MRT Jakarta director Tuhiyat said the idea for the Donutring Bridge emerged when DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung followed the Ciliwung River last August and asked about the four quadrants in Dukuh atas who were not yet fully connected. Armed with benchmark while in Yukohama, Japan, Tuhiyat presented the concept of this Donutring Bridge to Pramono to be built in Dukuh Atas.

Mar Jakarta Society Class in Central -Jakarta, Thursday (9/10/2025). is more or less about 12 (meters) wide. If you know of Pim (Pondok Indah Mall) 2, Pim 1, if it’s the maximum width, but we’ll try to build 12 (meters), 7 (meters) for public traffic, then there’s 5 (meters) for business. We will build one that will connect 4 modes, there is KCI, there is the Jabodebek lrt. Meanwhile, the Jakarta LRT has not come there yet, ‘he said. One of the residents supports the Donut Bridge, Reza, 31. This Bekas resident is even curious about the right form of the Donut Bridge in the future. “That’s why I haven’t seen it yet, I’m just curious. It means it’s distorted, yes, if there’s an expert on the design. I want to try it when it’s done. I want to see what it looks like,” Reza said when he met in the Dukuh Atas area, Jakarta, Sunday (12/10/2025). The man of Bekasi hopes the bridge will be made comfortable for pedestrians. He said the bridge should make it easier for people to move from one way of transport to another. “If possible, make it as comfortable as possible, not true? What is it, perhaps the place, if there is a better connection, support to take pictures of all kinds. Yes, if it is good, then it is centralized, so we will all be comfortable, like the LRT that goes to the MRT, you do not have to go through the station (KRL Sudirman),” he said. Another resident, Rizki, 26, also supports the plan to build the bridge. He hopes that the bridge can connect many transport in the Dukuh Atas area. “That looks good. Okay, well, if everything is connected to each other,” Rizki said. The special staff of the Governor of DKI Jakarta for Town Planning expert Nirwono Yoga still examined that the plan to build the Donut Bridge is still awaiting the results of the study of Japan’s urban Renaissance Agency (UR). This study is the basis for determining the form, financing and feasibility of the construction of the project, which will later become a symbol of the capital’s transportation connection. “At least one thing to notice is that the construction of the donut bridge is still being studied,” Nirwono said after holding a special meeting with Governor of Dki Jakarta, Pramono Anung, regarding the Dukuh Atas Tod in the Jakarta City Hall (13/10/2025). He explained that the results of the study from Japan would only be completed within a year. Apart from the design aspect, financing is the main focus of the study because it takes into account the effectiveness of the budget. “Especially now the budget efficiency and economic conditions also have special considerations,” he said. It is estimated that the new construction process can start in 2026 and that it was completed in 2027 as a gift for the 5th century of the city of Jakarta. “No later than 2026 it can be groundbreaking, and it has been targeted that by the end of 2027 it can be inaugurated as a birthday present for Jakarta,” he said. Pramono is target Donut Bridge to be completed in 2026, Jakarta -Governor Pramono Anung is targeted on the construction of the Donut Bridge in the Dukuh Atas area or Donut Bridge to be completed in 2026. Pramono said this project is part of the arrangement of an Integrated Transport area (TOD) connecting the public transport modes. “I ask that it be started immediately so that it can be completed by 2026,” Pramono said on Monday (13/10/2025) in the Kebayoran Lama area, South Jakarta. He explained that the bridge would connect the MRT, LRT, Transjakarta and KRL areas in Dukuh atas, so that the mobility of pedestrians would be more secure and more comfortable. So far, the intermodal connection in Dukuh ATAS has been good, but not optimal for pedestrians. “And if that happens, then the fashion integration, be it LRT, KRL, Mar, as well as airport trains can be handled, including Transjakarta,” he said. “And it certainly has great benefits, so that people don’t have to get caught up or go out first and then come in, but use the donutring to go anywhere, whether they want to go to the airport train or take the KRL home, and so on,” he continued.
