The Trans-Java Toll Road is a tolled expressway network that runs from Port of Merak in Cilegon, the main link between the island of Sumatra and Java, to Banyuwangi, the eastern end of the island in Indonesia and the main link between the island of Java and Bali. It mainly runs through the northern coast of the island, except for the section between Semarang and Surabaya, where it runs through the centre and south of the island. It runs through five of the six provinces on the island of Java (DI Yogyakarta being the sole exception), connecting the major cities of Jakarta, Cirebon, Semarang, Solo, and Surabaya. The toll road is the land transportation backbone of the island and is the most important toll road network of the country. The toll road has a total length of 1,167 kilometres (725 mi).[1]
The Trans-Jawa toll network was first conceived in whole in 1995, by President Soeharto as a means to connect both ends of the island to help with distribution and general traffic between the major cities that it runs through. But, the 1997 Asian financial crisis which affected the country, halted any developments.[2] The project was later revived by President Joko Widodo, with the construction of the remaining sections starting between 2014 and 2016.[3] This revival is mainly due to the main Pantura road getting increasingly congested, especially during the Eid and Christmas seasons.
Several sections of the toll road were completed in December 2018, fully connecting the sections between Port of Merak and Surabaya.[4] Meanwhile, the section connecting Surabaya and Probolinggo was completed a year later.[5] As of 2023, The section between Probolinggo and Banyuwangi had its ground breaking with targeted completion date of 2025. [6]
There are also many other complementary toll networks connecting this toll road. Trans-Java toll road is part of Asian Highway 2, which extends from Denpasar, Indonesia to Khosravi, Iran.
