Proposals to construct the Sunda Strait Bridge are not feasible, according to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia. Safety risks from earthquakes, tsunami, high tides and extreme weather conditions make the project impractical. A US$75.46 million feasibility study was carried out for the project. This pointed out that the bridge is at a high risk from earthquakes and tsunamis due to its vicinity to the Anak Krakatoa volcano.
Other projects in Indonesia are getting the go ahead however. Pre-qualification for the Balikpapan-Samarinda toll road project to begin soon. The exact date for the tender process has yet to be announced however. The 99km-long project is expected to cost $722 million to construct, with a total price of $1.12 billion including all the factors involved.
