A New PPP Scheme​


The government is preparing a new PPP framework for infrastructure projects.


According to Rachman Arief Dienaputra, Director General of Infrastructure Financing, the Minister of Public Works and Housing, Dody Hanggodo, has directed that the government will no longer provide construction support under PPP schemes.


“The Minister has confirmed that there will be no government support for construction in PPPs. We must rely on toll revenues,” Rachman said in South Jakarta on Tuesday (August 19, 2024).

Instead, government support will be provided in the form of area development.


Through regional development, toll road projects are expected to attract more users and provide stronger returns for private operators.


“This means benefits from regional development can help increase toll revenues and shorten concession periods,” Rachman explained.

Toll road development in Central Java

Jakarta


The Ministry of Public Works (PU) has set a target for 2026, with an additional 308.70 kilometers of new toll roads expected to become operational. This would bring the cumulative total of new operational toll roads from 2020 to 2026 to 1,385.03 km.


Director General of Highways at the Ministry of PU, Roy Rizali Anwar, said that from 2020 to 2024, a total of 932.60 km of new toll roads had already become operational. Currently, several construction projects are still ongoing.


With the completion of several projects, 143.73 km of new toll roads are expected to open this year. That would bring the cumulative total of new operational toll roads ( newly built from 2020) by the end of 2025 to 1,076.33 km.


“Then, the operational target in 2026 is an additional 308.70 km of new toll roads,” Roy said during a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) in Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (September 11, 2025).

New Toll Roads Targeted for Completion in 2026​


  • Solo–Yogyakarta–NIA Kulonprogo: 14.73 km
  • Kediri–Tulungagung: 6.82 km
  • Probolinggo–Banyuwangi: 38.48 km
  • Ciawi–Sukabumi: 13.70 km
  • Kayu Agung–Palembang–Betung: 69.19 km
  • Jakarta–Cikampek II South: 54.75 km
  • Serang–Panimbang: 41.63 km
  • Yogyakarta–Bawen: 15.10 km
  • Betung Tempino–Jambi: 54.30 km

“Thus, cumulatively, the total new toll roads operational from 2020 until the end of 2026 are targeted to reach 1,385.03 km,” Roy added.

Karian Dam, Banten Province


JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com
– Governor of Jakarta Pramono Anung has urged the Ministry of Public Works (PU) to accelerate the completion of the Karian Project in Banten.


According to Pramono, once the project is completed—along with the Jatiluhur reservoir and several new water treatment plants (IPA)—the clean water needs of residents in Jakarta and surrounding areas will be met.


He made this statement while inaugurating the Pesanggrahan Water Treatment Plant (IPA) together with Deputy Minister of Public Works Diana Kusumastuti in Cilandak District, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (September 9, 2025).


“If Karian is finished, Jatiluhur is finished, and new IPAs like this are built, I’m confident that Jakarta—and not only Jakarta, but also the surrounding areas—will have their clean water needs fulfilled,” Pramono said.

Cooperation Between Provinces​


Pramono stressed that ensuring clean water supply cannot be handled by one region alone. Cooperation among Jakarta, Banten, and West Java is essential so that residents in all three provinces can benefit.


He emphasized that the Karian and Jatiluhur reservoirs will play a major role in supporting clean water management in Jakarta, Banten, and West Java.

At present, he noted, South Tangerang already receives part of its water supply from Jakarta, while Bekasi benefits from the Buaran Water Treatment Plant.


During the inauguration, Pramono asked Diana about the timeline for completing the Karian Project. However, Diana did not provide a clear answer and only smiled.


“Since Ms. Diana (Deputy Minister of Public Works) is here, when can we complete Karian? We’re eager to see it finished. If Pesanggrahan is completed, how come Karian isn’t yet, Ms. Diana?” Pramono remarked.

Pesanggrahan IPA Adds Supply Capacity​


The inauguration of the Pesanggrahan IPA marks an additional supply capacity of clean water for 10 urban villages in South and West Jakarta.


The project began construction in 2023 with a budget of more than Rp 200 billion.

Patimban Port, West Java


Jakarta –


Patimban Port has become one of Indonesia’s National Strategic Projects (PSN) in the logistics sector. The operations of the port, located in Subang, West Java, continue to be accelerated in its development.


One key aspect is the construction of Package 6, which focuses on the container terminal. Takahiro Arai, General Manager of Sales & Marketing at PT Patimban Global Gateway Terminal (PGT), stated that the Patimban Container Terminal will be fully operational in January 2026.


“The container terminal is scheduled to begin operations in January 2026 with one unit of Mobile Harbour Crane (MHC),” Arai explained in his statement on Friday (Sept 26, 2025).


Its capacity will be gradually increased, with the addition of two more MHC units in April 2026, and three Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes plus nine Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes in December 2026.


“With these additions, the container terminal’s capacity will surge from 250,000 TEUs to 800,000 TEUs by the end of December 2026,” Arai said.


This information was conveyed directly to tenants in the Subang Smartpolitan industrial area, managed by PT Suryacipta Swadaya. This industrial zone aims to maximize the logistics supply chain built around Patimban Port.


Suryacipta believes that direct connectivity within a single ecosystem will create optimal synergy for its investors. This advantage is particularly significant for Subang Smartpolitan, a 2,717-hectare integrated township designed for industrial and commercial activities, including residential, education, healthcare, retail, and more.


“We are very optimistic about the progress achieved by Patimban Port. This infrastructure is one of the backbones of the logistics ecosystem we offer to our clients and tenants,” said Abednego Purnomo, Vice President of Sales Marketing & Tenant Relations at Suryacipta.


Efficient logistics access to Patimban Port has been a key factor influencing investment decisions by multinational companies in Subang Smartpolitan, from Kids Play Indonesia to Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD Motor Indonesia.


This advantage will be further enhanced as Subang Smartpolitan will eventually have its own dedicated toll gate on the Patimban Access Toll Road, cutting travel time to only about 30 minutes.


The synergy between Subang Smartpolitan’s development and Patimban Port is expected to accelerate investment, create jobs, and contribute significantly to national economic growth. Both are part of the government’s broader vision to achieve economic equity by creating new growth centers beyond the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) region.

 
2 big public transportation projects that are still going on in Jakarta are MRT (underground) extension and LRT (elevated) extension.

You can see LRT project if you patience enough to see this youtuber who drive around Jakarta. While MRT project in Thamrin road can be seen in the beginning of the video.

There is still other big project like road development in North Jakarta that is built to ease the logistic movement from port, but it is not covered in this video

Indonesia’s First Multi-Level Underground Railway Tunnel Completed​


By Nurul Hamami
(4–5 minutes read)
Home > Loko | Tuesday, October 7, 2025, 07:13 WIB


Each tunnel measures approximately 390 meters in length with a diameter of about six meters.

JAKARTA — PT MRT Jakarta has completed construction of Indonesia’s first-ever multi-level underground railway tunnel.


This milestone follows the completion of the second tunnel connecting Harmoni Station and Sawah Besar Station at the end of September 2025, using Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) 2.


Earlier, TBM 1 had finished building Indonesia’s deepest railway tunnel connecting the same two stations in late August 2025.


According to MRT Jakarta’s official website (October 6), both tunnels represent the country’s first multi-level underground rail tunnel construction.


Each tunnel stretches about 390 meters in length with a diameter of roughly six meters. Both TBMs began boring from the north side of Harmoni Station toward the south side of Sawah Besar Station.


  • TBM 1 operated at a depth of 28 meters below ground.
  • TBM 2 operated at around 10 meters below ground.
  • TBM 2 was active from July to September 2025, while TBM 1 worked from May to August 2025.

After completing these two tunnels, TBM 1 and TBM 2 will continue excavating the tunnel connecting Sawah Besar Station and Mangga Besar Station, spanning 790 meters.


  • TBM 1 is scheduled to finish by June 2026.
  • TBM 2 is expected to complete its section by September 2026.

Although both machines share similar functions and specifications, TBM 2 features an additional capability not found in TBM 1 — the obstacle-cutting system.


This feature is necessary for boring through four RC pile foundations located beneath a pedestrian bridge between Harmoni and Sawah Besar Stations, as well as a concrete sheet pile at the canal crossing between Sawah Besar and Mangga Besar Stations.


The construction of these stations and multi-level tunnels forms part of Contract Package 202 (CP202), which includes the building of Harmoni, Sawah Besar, and Mangga Besar Stations, and the underground tunnel stretch from Harmoni to Mangga Besar, totaling 1.8 kilometers (including tunnels and stations).


At a depth of up to 28 meters below ground, the Sawah Besar and Mangga Besar station tunnels will become the deepest underground rail structures ever built in Indonesia.

1767513379070.png

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The year 2026 is projected to be a bumper year for infrastructure development in Indonesia.

According to a report by Roy Razali Anwar, Director General of Highways at the Ministry of Public Works (PU), a total of 308.70 kilometers of new toll roads will officially begin operations.

“These new sections will increase the cumulative total of operational toll roads to 1,385.03 kilometers since 2020,” Roy said, as quoted by Kompas.com on Sunday (4/1/2026).

The opening of these routes is widely seen as a major connectivity boost that could trigger explosive regional growth.


List of 9 New Toll Roads Operating in 2026​

1. Serang–Panimbang Toll Road​

  • Sections: Section 2 (Rangkasbitung–Cileles) and Section 3.1 (Cileles–Panimbang)
  • Length: 41.63 kilometers
  • Impact: A game changer for South Banten, cutting travel time from Jakarta to the Tanjung Lesung Special Economic Zone (KEK) from 5 hours to just 2–3 hours.
  • Regional Potential: Ends the isolation of Pandeglang and Lebak, transforming the coastal tourism industry into a world-class destination competitive with Bali.

2. Yogyakarta–Bawen Toll Road​

  • Sections: Section 1 (Sleman–Banyurejo) and Section 6 (Ambarawa–Bawen)
  • Length: 15.10 kilometers
  • Impact: A key connector of the Joglosemar “golden triangle” (Yogyakarta–Solo–Semarang), easing the heavy congestion on the busy Magelang national road.
  • Regional Potential: Accelerates food logistics between Central Java and Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) and strengthens access to the super-priority Borobudur destination.

3. Betung–Tempino–Jambi Toll Road​

  • Section: Section 2 (Tungkal Jaya–Bayung Lencir)
  • Length: 54.30 kilometers
  • Impact: Critically important as it finally connects Jambi Province to the main Trans-Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS) network.
  • Regional Potential: Speeds up the transport of plantation commodities (rubber and palm oil) from Jambi to Bakauheni Port, long hampered by slow eastern Sumatra routes.

4. Solo–Yogyakarta–YIA Kulon Progo Toll Road​

  • Sections: Package 1.2B (Prambanan–Purwomartani) and Package 2.2B (Trihanggo–Sleman)
  • Length: 14.73 kilometers
  • Impact: Directly connects Yogyakarta city to the Trans-Java Toll Road network.
  • Regional Potential: Reduces severe congestion on Yogyakarta’s North Ring Road and accelerates access for tourists and business travelers to Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA).

5. Kediri–Tulungagung Toll Road​

  • Section: Kediri Airport Access
  • Length: 4.82 kilometers
  • Impact: Though short, this section has high strategic value as a key supporter of Dhoho Kediri Airport.
  • Regional Potential: Creates a new logistics ecosystem in southern East Java, positioning Kediri, Tulungagung, and Blitar (Mataraman region) as new economic growth centers beyond Surabaya.

6. Jakarta–Cikampek II South Toll Road​

  • Sections: Package 2 (Setu–Sukabungah) and Package 3 (Sukabungah–Sadang)
  • Length: 54.75 kilometers
  • Impact: A permanent solution to chronic congestion on the existing Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road, serving as the main alternative route from Jakarta to Bandung via Sadang.
  • Regional Potential: Revitalizes industrial zones in South Bekasi, East Bogor, and Karawang, while speeding up goods distribution to East Priangan.

7. Ciawi–Sukabumi Toll Road​

  • Section: Section 3 (Cibadak–West Sukabumi)
  • Length: 13.70 kilometers
  • Impact: Puts an end to the legendary traffic jams on the “Bogor–Sukabumi” route.
  • Regional Potential: Transforms Sukabumi into a new logistics and manufacturing hub in West Java due to sharply reduced transport costs, while improving access to the Ciletuh Geopark tourism area.

8. Kayu Agung–Palembang–Betung Toll Road​

  • Section: Kramasan to Betung (3 priority segments)
  • Length: 69.19 kilometers
  • Impact: Completes the missing link in South Sumatra, ensuring smoother travel from Palembang toward Jambi and Riau without reliance on congested national roads.
  • Regional Potential: Strengthens Palembang’s position as the main logistics hub in southern Sumatra.

9. Probolinggo–Banyuwangi Toll Road​

  • Sections: Gending to Besuki (Sections 1–3)
  • Length: 38.48 kilometers
  • Impact: Represents the easternmost endpoint of the massive Trans-Java Toll Road project.
  • Regional Potential: Accelerates logistics connectivity between Java and Bali via Ketapang Port and boosts growth in fisheries and agriculture across East Java’s “Tapal Kuda” region.

Multiplier Effects​

The opening of 308.70 kilometers of toll roads in 2026 is about more than just cutting travel time.

It is expected to reduce logistics vehicle operating costs by 15–20 percent, which in turn should help lower consumer prices in regional markets.

In addition, industries are expected to shift away from major cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya toward new toll exits in smaller cities.

Synergies between toll roads and key infrastructure—such as Kediri and Yogyakarta airports, as well as Ketapang and Bakauheni ports—could create a broader, more efficient distribution network.

2026 will be the year when Indonesia becomes “smaller” in distance, yet significantly “larger” in economic scale.

Small city in East Java


Sampang, East Java. President Prabowo Subianto inaugurates 1,151 kilometers of regional roads across Indonesia, underscoring the government’s push to strengthen rural connectivity and lower logistics costs in the world’s largest archipelago.

The infrastructure project spans 37 provinces, covering Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara, as well as Maluku, North Maluku, and Papua. The total value of the works is estimated at Rp 5.41 trillion ($302.35 million).

Speaking at the inauguration of the Kedungdung–Bringkoning road section in Sampang, East Java, on Tuesday, Prabowo said regional roads are a key driver of grassroots economic activity.

“I am proud and happy that the construction of 1,151 km of regional roads across 37 provinces has been completed,” he said. “Regional roads are the lifeline of the people’s economy.”

The Kedungdung–Bringkoning segment is one of the completed projects under the program. The road was widened over a 1.5-kilometer stretch to a width of 7 meters, with an investment of around Rp 14 billion.


Prabowo said improved road infrastructure plays a central role in enabling the movement of goods from rural producers to markets and industrial centers. Better connectivity, he added, helps farmers, plantation workers, and fishermen distribute their products more efficiently while also improving access to essential goods in remote areas.


“Transportation costs will be lower if roads are adequate and if there is connectivity between production centers and residential areas,” he said.
