It is still in the stage of engineering design and environmental impact analysis (Amdal) by the ministry of transportation.
The first route being prepared will run from Tanjung District (South Kalimantan) to Paser District - North Penajam Paser - Balikpapan - Samarinda (East Kalimantan) stretching 233.7 kilometers with an estimated cost of Rp38.95 billion.

The third national project is the construction of a new seaport and port expansion of the Trans-Kalimantan Maloy Batuta special economic zone in East Kutai District.
Construction of oil refinery in Bontang City is the fourth national strategic project, he said. It has an investment of US$14.9 billion. Scheduled for completion in 2024, the refinery plant has a production capacity of 300 thousand barrels per day.
The fifth national strategic project is the expansion of the oil refinery plant in Balikpapan, namely increasing its production capacity from 260 thousand barrels per day to 360 thousand barrels per day with an operational target in 2019.
Zain said that the sixth is the continuation of the Marangkayu Dam development project. The dam which is targeted to be operational in 2019 will serve as raw water source, flood control and a source of agricultural irrigation.
