Jakarta Reopens HR Rasuna Said Road After Removing 109 Abandoned Monorail Pylons

Jakarta's HR Rasuna Said road has officially reopened, sporting a new look after a significant renovation project that saw the removal of 109 abandoned monorail pylons. Governor Pramono Anung inaugurated the revitalized 3.8-kilometer stretch on Sunday, June 21, 2026.

“

The first, officially Jalan Rasuna Said which has been renovated with a length of 3.8 kilometers, 109 pylons cut, is officially inaugurated and operated today.

The renovation began in January 2026 with the dismantling of the pylons, which had stood as a stark reminder of the stalled monorail project. Following their removal, the provincial government focused on improving the sidewalks and the road itself.

“

It's not his fault (Bang Yos). 1000 percent not his fault because of policy changes.

Governor Anung clarified that the monorail project's halt was not the fault of former Governor Sutiyoso, under whom the project began. Instead, the discontinuation was due to a shift in central government policy, which prioritized the development of the LRT Jabodebek. Anung stated his commitment to resolving the issue of the abandoned pylons, fulfilling a promise made to Sutiyoso.

And that is what then becomes the responsibility of whoever is governor, and coincidentally I am the governor, I told Bang Yos, 'Bang, bismillah, I will finish it', and thank God it's finished today.
