Trans-Java Toll Road

The Trans-Java Toll Road is a <a href="/facts/Toll_road/PjnS0xLa">tolled</a> <a href="/facts/Controlled-access_highway/gaKATAGS">expressway</a> network in <a href="/facts/Java/2MNA2rLm">the island of Java</a>, Indonesia, runs from <a href="/facts/Port_of_Merak/jwBkeL2A">Port of Merak</a> in <a href="/facts/Cilegon/8NUjFQnj">Cilegon</a>, the main link between the island of <a href="/facts/Sumatra/Fo192kJb">Sumatra</a> and Java, to <a href="/facts/Banyuwangi/XJPq65dY">Banyuwangi</a>, the eastern end of the island in <a href="/facts/Indonesia/vQnWU3IW">Indonesia</a> 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 (<a href="/facts/Special_Region_of_Yogyakarta/DN8DM5Ja">DI Yogyakarta</a> being the sole exception), connecting the major cities of <a href="/facts/Jakarta/HwQk9xHT">Jakarta</a>, <a href="/facts/Cirebon/aDa1FWMh">Cirebon</a>, <a href="/facts/Semarang/73oKj96u">Semarang</a>, <a href="/facts/Surakarta/wKb4vrA3">Solo</a>, and <a href="/facts/Surabaya/ueSxkgv9">Surabaya</a>. 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).
The Trans-Jawa toll network was first conceived in whole in 1995, by <a href="/facts/Suharto/PASc013k">President Soeharto</a> 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 <a href="/facts/1997_Asian_financial_crisis/EfxsMxXQ">1997 Asian financial crisis</a> which affected the country, halted any developments. The project was later revived by President <a href="/facts/Joko_Widodo/FncTV629">Joko Widodo</a>, with the construction of the remaining sections starting between 2014 and 2016. This revival is mainly due to the main <a href="/facts/North_Coast_Road_(Java)/6AjHMVFc">Pantura</a> 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 <a href="/facts/Port_of_Merak/jwBkeL2A">Port of Merak</a> and <a href="/facts/Surabaya/ueSxkgv9">Surabaya</a>. Meanwhile, the section connecting <a href="/facts/Surabaya/ueSxkgv9">Surabaya</a> and <a href="/facts/Probolinggo/fptzJULt">Probolinggo</a> was completed a year later. As of 2023, The section between <a href="/facts/Probolinggo/fptzJULt">Probolinggo</a> and <a href="/facts/Banyuwangi/XJPq65dY">Banyuwangi</a> had its ground breaking with targeted completion date of 2025. 
There are also many other complementary toll networks connecting this toll road. Trans-Java toll road is part of <a href="/facts/AH2/fkywSVPP">Asian Highway 2</a>, which extends from <a href="/facts/Denpasar/pvC3s7IH">Denpasar</a>, <a href="/facts/Indonesia/vQnWU3IW">Indonesia</a> to <a href="/facts/Khosravi%2c_Kermanshah/3VR956nH">Khosravi</a>, <a href="/facts/Iran/24yukge8">Iran</a>.
