Road Information

Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road is nominated as the most congested highway in Indonesia, especially in the area of Cikunir JCT- Bekasi Barat (although half of the expressway is 8-lanes dual carriageway (KM0-KM37) and another half is 6 lanes (KM37-KM73). By the completion of the Jakarta-Cikampek Elevated Tollway spanning from Cikunir to West Karawang, the capacity is expanded and congestion is slightly decreasing along this stretch (another stretch after Karawang Barat eastbound is, unfortunately, more congested.) As of 2021, the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road is surrounded by 2 main projects which are under construction : LRT Cawang-Bekasi Timur (north section, KM0-KM18, under construction) and Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (south section, KM0-KM38). The lane management along this expressway is provided in this table. Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road is implementing full open-toll system after the demolition of Cikarang Utama Toll Gate (where the west part is open-toll while the rest is closed-toll). The toll fare for this expressway is shown in this table starting from January 17, 2020.
