Jakarta, ID – The Ministry of Public Works, through the Jakarta-West Java National Road Implementation Centre (BBPJN), continues to strive to support the smooth flow of homecoming and return traffic during Eid through national and toll roads. It should be noted that the total length of national roads and bridges in Jakarta-West Java is 1,782.65 kilometres (km), and toll roads are 788.36 km.
The Director of Bridge Construction at the Directorate General of Highways, Rakhman Taufik, stated that of the total length of national roads and bridges, the length of roads in Jakarta is 123.06 km and in West Java is 663.79 km. "The stability of these national roads reaches 98.47% and bridges 89.44%," said Rakhman Taufik, quoted in Jakarta, Monday (17/3/2025).
To anticipate disasters, according to Rakhman, the Jakarta-West Java BBPJN has prepared Eid route posts and Disaster Relief Units (DRUs) at 23 locations. These posts will be staffed by on-duty officers, parking spaces for officers and travellers, rest areas, places of worship, mobile toilets, first aid, and contact numbers for related agencies such as the Traffic Corps, the Transportation Agency, and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD).
"In addition, the Jakarta-West Java BBPJN also coordinates with various agencies to prepare risk mitigation steps for 126 congestion-prone points, 53 accident-prone points, 22 non-level crossings with railway tracks, 16 level crossings, and disaster response services," added Rakhman.
Meanwhile, the toll roads in DKI Jakarta-West Java that have been operational are 480.115 km, consisting of Jakarta-Bogor Ciawi 44.8 km, JORR NON-S 13 km, Bekasi-Cawang-Kampung Melayu 8.8 km, Depok-Antasari 6.3 km, Jakarta-Cikampek 78.6 km, Jakarta-Cikampek II Elevated 38 km, Bogor Ring Road Section I-III A 11.3 km, Cinere-Jagorawi 14.8 km.
Additionally, there are also sections Cikampek-Palimanan 116.7 km, Palimanan-Kanci 26.3 km, Kanci-Pejagan 35 km, Padalarang-Cileunyi 64.4 km, Cikampek-Padalarang 58.5 km, Soreang-Pasir Koja 8.15 km, Ciawi-Sukabumi 26.4 km, Cimanggis-Cibitung 26.19 km, Cibitung-Cilincing 29.7 km, and Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawuan 61.6 km.
The instructions for improving toll road services in facing the homecoming and return traffic during Eid 2025 are outlined in the letter from the Minister of Public Works No: BM 07020-Mn/98 dated 12 February 2025, which includes improving construction services, information services, traffic services and safety aspects, transaction service improvements, and quality improvements for TIP services.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Chair of Commission V of the House of Representatives (DPR), Syaiful Huda, hopes that the Ministry of Public Works will ensure that the ongoing road repair work can proceed optimally and be completed soon so that the roads are in good condition and free of potholes to avoid accidents, "D-10 is expected to have no more work," he stressed.
Priority repair points
Separately, the Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo, inspected several national road sections in East Java Province on Saturday (15/3) as part of the preparations for the homecoming traffic during Eid 2025. In addition to toll roads, he also checked the infrastructure conditions on the main route Jombang-Mojokerto-Surabaya, including the Mastrip Road in Jombang, which is one of the priority repair points.
The Ministry of Public Works, through the East Java-Bali BBPJN, is currently carrying out minor rehabilitation work on the Mastrip Road in Jombang along 1.7 km of the total length of 2 km. In addition to ensuring the road remains functional, this repair is also carried out to support the readiness of the homecoming route during Eid 2025 to be safe and comfortable for road users.
In his inspection, Minister Dody emphasised that budget efficiency should not hinder the performance of national road preservation.
"Carry out the work economically but maintain the quality of implementation. Look for innovative financing schemes to help maintain the stability of national roads, for example through CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)," said Minister Dody.
Based on data from the East Java-Bali BBPJN as of 14 March 2025, pothole repairs on national road sections in East Java have been carried out since 1 January 2025 and have reached 11,775 points out of a total of 11,868 identified points. The remaining 93 points are still in the process of being repaired and are targeted to be completed by D-10 Eid.
Overall, the length of national roads in the northern cross of East Java reaches 227.52 km, while the length of national roads in the central cross stretches 97.04 km. With ongoing repair efforts, it is hoped that the homecoming route in East Java will be ready to serve the public in better and safer conditions.
