History
In 1973, the Indonesian government began building the first highway linking the capital Jakarta with the city of Bogor. When the road was still in its construction phase, it was not officially a toll road.

For that purpose, the Labor Department suggested that the portion of the road between Jakarta and Bogor be changed to a toll road. Private investors, with government financing, established the semi-private corporation Jasa Marga to manage the highway on 1 March 1978. The road was officially inaugurated in a ceremony on March 9, 1978 hosted by
