The Sei Ladi Flyover, spanning 120 meters in length and 10.5 meters in width, is designed to connect Sekupang and Batam Center, alleviating the heavy traffic currently experienced in these high-density areas.
Phase one of the project also involves expanding roadways and pedestrian paths from Pura Agung to SMK Kartini, with additional road widening near Baloi and new routes leading to the SPBU Sei Ladi gas station to facilitate smoother vehicular movement.
The second phase, expected to commence in 2025, will extend the road widening efforts from SMK Kartini to Awal Bros Hospital, further enhancing the connectivity and infrastructure resilience of Batam.
