Project Overview and Progress

The Jakarta-Cikampek II Selatan (Japeksel) toll road project, spanning 62 km, continues to make significant progress with 92.23% construction completion as of November 2025 ¹

. This infrastructure project is part of Indonesia's National Strategic Projects under the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) and the Land Transportation Management Agency (BPJT). The toll road is divided into three packages and six sections, aiming to connect the Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR) at Jatiasih, Bekasi, with the Purbaleunyi Toll Road at Sadang.

Controversy and Clarification

The project gained attention due to claims that it could reduce travel time between Jakarta and Bandung to 45 minutes. Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo, clarified that this time refers specifically to travel within the toll road section (from Jatiasih to Sadang), not the entire Jakarta-Bandung journey ²

. BPJT and Waskita Karya are conducting further analysis to determine the actual travel time benefits.

Project Features and Completion

The Japeksel toll road will feature seven interchanges: Jatiasih, Bojongmangu, Bantargebang, Kutanegara, Setu, Sadang, and Sukaragam. PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk, the main contractor, is implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to enhance design accuracy and identify potential construction issues. The project is expected to be completed by mid-2026 ¹
