2018 Asian Games...progress

Although Ahok already really motivated his staff by stating he preferred Palembang to be the sole organizer of the next Asian games, it looks there is finally some progress.

Not too far from us they put up metal fences in the center of the Boulevard between Kelapa Gading and Rawamangun. This to create some kind of fast connection between Kelapa Gading and the Velodrome (where there will be cycling and water sports for instance).

It could be my negativity but seems very very ambitious again to create some kind of LRT in less than 2 years over a stretch of 5 kilometers. But we will see I guess.
