JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Land acquisition and human capital issues have remained a challenge in the development of the mega trans-Sumatra toll road project, which might delay its scheduled completion.
State-owned construction company Hutama Karya, which is in charge of most of the trans-Sumatra toll road sections, is still struggling to acquire land in parts of Sumatra, the firm’s president director Budi Harto said on Wednesday (Nov 25).
