Jasa Marga Delays Japek II Selatan Toll Operation

Construction Prioritization

PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk (JSMR), the state-owned toll road operator, has announced that the Jakarta-Cikampek (Japek) II Selatan toll road will not be operational during the 2025/2026 Christmas and New Year (Nataru) period. The company's CEO, Rivan Achmad Purwantono, stated that this decision was made to allow for maximal completion of the construction work.

Strategic Decision for 2026 Mudik Season

The delay is strategically planned to ensure that the toll road is fully ready for the 2026 Eid al-Fitr mudik season. By focusing on completing the construction, Jasa Marga aims to provide a fully functional toll road for the large number of travelers expected during the upcoming Eid holiday. This decision reflects the company's commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure in Indonesia.

Impact on Current Operations

The Japek II Selatan toll road is a significant infrastructure project aimed at reducing congestion on the existing Jakarta-Cikampek toll road. While the delay means that travelers will not benefit from the new toll road during the Nataru period, it is expected to provide substantial benefits during the 2026 mudik season. Jasa Marga's decision highlights the importance of infrastructure readiness for major travel periods.
