The citizens of Jakarta are spoiled by the presence of the Bung Karno [JPO] the crossing bridge or better known as JPO Sudirman, which is located on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Central Jakarta.

JPO Sudirman has been officially opened and used by the community since February 2O19. Basically, this JPO is the initial default that has existed and was built since 1968.

It's just that it has undergone several revitalizations, but what is of concern is the revitalization carried out this time, JPO Sudirman looks more futuristic and modern.

The birth of JPO is actually due to the high use of vehicles in Indonesia, especially the capital city of Jakarta. Initially, the government used Zebra crossing as a means of crossing residents, but driving behavior in Jakarta interrupted this thought.

The level of accidents on the highway due to waders had occurred in those early years, therefore the Government also thought that zebra crossings were no longer suitable for large and crowded roads.

They proposed two proposals to replace zebra crossings. The first proposal was an underground tunnel such as in the cities of Paris, France, and Rome, Italy.

The second proposal dwells on the bridge crossing the person in the form of the letter H (viaduct) imitating the application in major cities of the United States and Japan. Besides being safe for pedestrians, there is also the beauty of the city that can be enjoyed from the bridge.

In 1968, Ali Sadikin, the Governor of Jakarta in the period 1966-1977, rejected the proposal of an underground tunnel. The construction costs are too expensive. He also worried that the floods and the homeless would one day fill the tunnel. Then the second proposal, the crossing bridge, becomes the best choice to be realized.

The pedestrian bridge began to stand strong on April 21, 1968. It is located right in front of Sarinah, the first modern convenience store in Jakarta, on Jalan M.H. Thamrin. On the day of the inauguration, Ali Sadikin named it 'Kartini Bridge', because it coincided with the date of the birth of R.A. Kartini, National patriot.

Now the bridge has become one of the instagramable spots in the city of Jakarta, after the latest revitalization, the JPO, now called Sudirman, is becoming stronger and more beautiful.

JPO Sudirman carries the theme of Gelora, Gelora which means symbolization of the turmoil and enthusiasm of the Indonesian people to continue to progress and develop.

Representation of the sporting spirit that characterizes the Senayan area, the location where JPO is located.

Gelora rings in the form of flat white fields were chosen in addition to optimizing sunlight reflected on the bridge, also to capture the dynamic transformation of light from morning to evening, until the appearance of artificial lighting in the Sudirman corridor. So, how do you think about it My friend?
