The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has commenced construction of the "Donat Bridge" pedestrian deck in Dukuh Atas, Central Jakarta. This new facility is designed to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, linking them to six key public transportation systems in the area.

Scheduled for completion in 2028, the Donat Bridge will serve as a crucial transit hub, connecting users to the MRT Jakarta, KRL Commuter Line, Transjakarta buses, Airport Train, LRT Jabodebek, and LRT Jakarta. Governor Anies Baswedan highlighted that the project aims to make accessing public transportation more convenient for residents, including those traveling internationally.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, Governor Baswedan proposed an innovative addition to the bridge's functionality. He suggested that once completed, the bridge could feature a duty-free shopping area, specifically for goods produced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). "It would be even better if, when it's finished, we could have duty-free items from our MSMEs," he stated.
