Trans-Java Delays

Rows of concrete posts stood in paddy fields in Klitik village, Ngawi, East Java. Their yellow color has begun to fade. On one side can be seen the number 2014, marking the year of installation. "Last year they replaced the posts. Previously it was not made of concrete," said Klitik village chief, Jumirin, in late April.

Klitik village will be crossed by the Solo-Ngawi-Kertosono motorway. Of the six hectares required, five hectares have been fitted with these yellow posts. This means the land has been purchased in full by the government, since 2012 to 2013. President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo inaugurated the initiation of the 177-kilometer highway construction on May 1. He gave two and a half years for the contractor to complete the construction.
