Abstract
Covid-19, one of the natural disasters that causes delays in construction projects. The temporary lockdown policy, which was imposed at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia, causes delays in construction project. One of the project experiencing delays is the construction of the Ploso Bridge. Scheduling methods were needed to speed up the construction works. Fast tracking and crashing methods were used in this research to accelerate the preparation and soil work in the critical path of the Ploso Bridge. The result of the research is that by using the fast tracking method the duration is accelerated by 18 days compared to the normal duration. Whereas using the crashing method by adding one and two overtime hours, this reduces the duration of the project by 13 and 23 days respectively. Therefore, the crashing method by adding two overtime hours seem to be the most effective method to accelerate the duration of the project.
