At the heart of this transformation is DT975, the corridor connecting Phu Quoc International Airport with the APEC Convention Centre. With a 62-metre cross-section featuring 10 motor vehicle lanes and an integrated light rail transit (LRT) line, the route is being developed as a key component of the island’s future transport network.
Connecting Phu Quoc International Airport with the APEC Convention Centre, the LRT project is expected not only to strengthen the island’s capacity to host APEC 2027, but also to usher in a new phase of infrastructure development and urban spatial planning for the special administrative zone.
Traffic congestion in Bali, particularly on the route from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport to major tourist destinations, has become increasingly severe. With the introduction of a water taxi service, visitors will be able to travel directly from the airport to Canggu without being caught in traffic.
Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said on September 27 that the country’s government targets the light rail transit (LRT) project in Bali to start its groundbreaking in early 2024.
