Breaking the Isolation of Sumatra

The Trans-Sumatra Toll Road is a massive infrastructure project designed to connect the length of Sumatra — a 2,800+ kilometer toll road that will transform the island’s economy, connect its cities, and finally break the isolation of its interior.[reference:1]

The 210-Day Connection

The Trans-Sumatra Toll Road is part of a broader pattern of infrastructure development that has followed a rhythm of planning, construction, and completion — a rhythm that some have compared to the cycles of the 210-day-contract.
