Bali Mandara Toll Road, Toll road over water in Denpasar Badung, Indonesia.
The Bali Mandara Toll Road is an elevated route that crosses the Gulf of Benoa, connecting Denpasar, Ngurah Rai International Airport, and Nusa Dua. It stretches approximately 12.7 kilometers and was built to make travel between these key locations faster and more direct.
This road opened in 2013 and was the second structure of its kind built over water in Indonesia at that time. It was created as a major transportation project to improve connections across the region.
The name comes from Indonesian words meaning Forward, Safe, Peaceful, and Prosperous, reflecting what matters to people here. When you travel across it, you notice how these values shape the way the road was built and maintained.
The road has separate lanes for motorcycles and cars, with electronic payment systems at the toll stations. Drivers should exercise caution during strong winds, as the route passes over open water.
Wind speed monitors are installed along the route to track weather conditions and keep travel safe. These safety devices work quietly in the background, though travelers rarely notice them.
