Text 1:
Since 1981, the Humber Bridge in England has been the
world’s longest-span (1,410 meters) bridge. Like most other longspan
bridges, it is a suspension bridge. In a suspension bridge,
the bridge deck hangs, or is suspended, from thick steel cables.
They are made of tens of thousands of kilometers of thin steel wires
bound together.
The cables go up and over tall towers on either side of the gap to
be spanned. They are anchored firmly at each end. In the largest
suspension bridges, the towers have to be built slightly out of parallel
to allow for the curve of the Earth!

21-kilometer-long Antasari–Depok–Bogor toll road kicked off on
Thursday as the government boosted efforts to support the capital
city’s expansion.

Depok, which is the only major route to Jakarta from Depok. “The
Antasari-Depok toll road is an important project as it is part of the ring
and radial road system in Jakarta,” Public Works Ministry Director
General of Highways Djoko Murjanto said during the launch.

Tenants advised to obey regulations on apartment
Jakarta: A building architect has advised families planning to live in an

apartment to study all the relevant regulations prior to moving in to help
prevent unexpected security-related occurrences.
“Tenants must obey certain regulations when living in an apartment, which
is far different from living in a landed-house,” Fendhi Ibuhindar said.
“Tenants of an apartment should abide by regulations set by the owner of
the high-rise building,” he added.
“This is important, especially for a family that has a young child,” he was
quoted as saying by okezone.com.
According to him, the trend of living in an apartment in Jakarta started only
10 years ago. Living in an apartment has increasingly become popular.
“Most of Jakarta’s residents are more accustomed to living in a landed
house and when they live in an apartment, many are not ready for
apartment-living habits and regulations. They have to abandon their
mindset of living in a landed-house,” he said.
He said that an owner of apartment should also consider aspects of

designing and building materials that are safe for children. “The quality of
building materials should be prioritized,” he said.
“Children’s safety should be the main concern with regards to the building
materials that are used,” he said. (Adapted from: The Jakarta Post, May 9, 2014)
