New Bali Northern airport

[Balifrog]

Nice video on the technical issues for this construction.
Having worked 33 years in foundation and soil improvement I really liked the detailed explanation, which is correct B.T.W.


But no way it will open in 2028.... Maybe the artificial island will be ready by then.

This all sounds like a Nightmare, Not a Dream! As I thought, China will Pay for it, have Full control, collect the tolls, and Destroy the North Coast of Bali! as of Now, there is not any infrastructure to handle the Thousands of People, with Roads, Accommodations, Services. The Chinese will build a Toll road and collect all the Money, who knows what this Airport will look like? I have been the Changi Airport in Singapore, and wonder if this new one here can even scratch the surface in Comparison!

Has it been determined where precisely this is supposed to be built?

"Lukman pointed to a 2020 letter from the Bali governor that canceled an earlier proposed site in Kubutambahan and suggested a new location in Sumberklampok. He said the letter should serve as a key reference for decision-makers."

One has the impression that perhaps the main impetus for these great projects is the money to be made with the various constructions. The outcomes are great for the wheeler dealers but not so great in terms of providing the supposed benefits.

The planned total cost for developing Kertajati International Airport was estimated at around Rp 25.4 trillion (Indonesian rupiah) for its construction and infrastructure. Being 68 ks west of the city just getting to and fro is so appallingly difficult that many people prefer to fly to Jakarta and then transit to Bandung from there. My WNI wife needs to travel to Bandung in April. It seems there are no longer direct flights from Denpasar to Bandung. The word is that there is a plan to convert Kertajati into an army base or airport and revitalize the old Bandung airport.

I find myself wondering how the great new Jimbaran underpass will work given the monsoon rains and the tendency for flooding at the present Ngurah Rai by pass. I am no engineer but it sounds rather perilous and costly.

If you want to avoid driving around Jakarta with a shuttle bus or so, you might want to look into flying to Halim. With Citilink for instance. Then there you take the Whoosh at the station next door to Bandung, which is fast and convenient. (But be warned, you do need a free and self explanatory commuter train at the end.)

This bit I don't understand. " (But be warned, you do need a free and self explanatory commuter train at the end.)"

When they built the Whoosh high speed train, they decided that the end station would not be at the main station in the center of Bandung, but west of the city. Budgetary constraints I guess.

So to solve that -most people want to go to the center- they use something they call a ‘feeder train’ that brings you from Padalarang station to the central station. It’s for free but that small train takes an additional 20 minutes.
