Jagorawi Toll Road, Toll road between Jakarta and Bogor, Indonesia
The Jagorawi Toll Road is a multi-lane expressway that connects Jakarta with the southern suburbs of Bogor and Ciawi, passing through hilly terrain. The route features multiple interchanges, overpasses, and tunnel sections designed to navigate the significant elevation changes.
The highway opened in 1978 and stands as Indonesia's first major expressway project, developed with Chilean private investors. This pioneering route established the foundation for the country's later network of toll roads.
The toll road's construction influenced settlement patterns in West Java, leading to new residential developments and changes in suburban community structures.
Several rest stops along the route offer fuel stations, restaurants, prayer rooms, and vehicle maintenance facilities. It's wise to plan breaks before long drives, especially during peak travel times.
The road is known for its efficient operating costs compared to other toll routes and remains one of the most affordable options per kilometer. This makes it a preferred route for commuters and business travelers from Jakarta.
