Jakarta Plan to Build Six Routes of Inner City Toll Way

DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s plan to build six routes of inner city toll way receives a positive response from the Central Government with the approval of DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s proposal by the Public Labor Department.

In order to develop the six routes of toll way, the Public Labor Department (Departemen PU) has approved that an open tender will be announced whereby every DKI Jakarta BUMD will be involved. The tender will be conducted by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, and the budget will come from private sector investment. The tender itself will be conducted for six months, and the physical development will take two years.

The development of these six routes of inner city toll way has been needed urgently. Becakayu (Bekasi-Cakung-Kampung Melayu) toll way route, which already has the foundation for flyovers, will be developed as a first priority.

This Becakayu flyover route is prioritized due to the fact that there are several points of high traffic along the Bekasi-Cakung-Kampung Melayu.

The six routes are : Bekasi-Kalimalang-Kampung Melayu, Ulujami-Tanah Abang (8,7 km), Kampung Melayu-Tomang (12,5 km), Pasar Minggu-Casablanca (9 km), Kemayoran-Kampung Melayu (9,65 km) and Sunter-Pulo Gebang (12,5 km).

The required budget to develop the toll way routes is estimated to reach Rp 23 trillion for a total route length of 85 kilometer, with the estimated per kilometer budget of Rp 250 billion.
