TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin officially inaugurated the Cimanggis-Cibitung Toll Road in West Java Province on Tuesday, July 9. He said this 26.1-kilometer toll road was constructed with an investment totaling Rp10.6 trillion.
“This is part of JORR (Jakarta Outer Ring Road) 2 which completes the toll road network in the Jabodetabek (Greater Jakarta) area,” he remarked during the ceremony, which was livestreamed on the Vice Presidential Secretariat YouTube channel.
He explained that the Cimanggis-Cibitung Toll Road would drastically reduce travel time between Cimanggis and Cibitung, from the current 1-2 hours via arterial roads to a mere 30-45 minutes.
“We hope that this toll road will accelerate the connectivity and accessibility between regions, supporting the national development goals,” Ma'ruf Amin added.
The Cimanggis-Cibitung Toll Road Project is included in the National Strategy Project (PSN). Director of Multi Infrastructure Facilities (SMI) Edwin Syahruzad mentioned the project's lengthy construction period, which began in 2016. Land acquisition within densely populated urban areas presented a significant challenge.
“Land acquisition in dense urban areas is such a challenge,” he stated during his inaugural address.
Edwin also highlighted the toll road's potential to increase traffic flow across four regions: Depok, Bekasi, Bogor Regency, and Bekasi Regency. Upon its full operation, the Cimanggis-Cibitung segment will complete the JORR 2 network, extending its total length to 111 kilometers.
“This will improve movement for commuters and logistics in the Jabodetabek industrial area,” he concluded.
