Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road, Major toll road between Jakarta and Cikampek, Indonesia
The Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road is an expressway in West Java Province that links the capital with the industrial zone of Cikampek. The route runs through densely populated suburbs before passing through flat terrain with rice paddies and factories on both sides.
Construction started in the late eighties to create a link between the capital and emerging manufacturing centers. In 2019, an elevated section was completed to carry traffic over populated areas.
On weekends and national holidays, the highway transforms into a major route for families traveling between the capital and rural parts of West Java. Local traditions of mudik, the annual return to home regions, shape how people use this road throughout the year.
Electronic payment cards simplify passing through toll gates positioned at regular intervals along the route. Rest areas offer basic facilities and food options for travelers making longer journeys.
The elevated section, running over 36 kilometers, offers open views of the surrounding landscape and spans villages and canals below. This design eases traffic flow by avoiding crossings with local roads.
