The longest elevated toll road in the country, Jakarta-Cikampek II, will serve holiday travelers soon.
State-owned toll road operator PT Jasa Marga said the toll road, which began construction in July 2017, will be inaugurated by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo on Dec. 12.
With the toll road opening ahead of schedule, it is expected to share the traffic burden of Christmas and New Year travel.
Jasa Marga spent Rp 16.23 trillion (US$ 1.15 billion) on the construction of the 36.4 kilometer toll road.
Jasa Marga president director Desi Arryani said the toll road would have no exit in the middle.
"The elevated toll is intended for people traveling to cities in Java. People will not be able to exit the toll road in Tambun, Cikarang, West Karawang or Rengasdengklok, as we only provide an exit at the beginning and end of the toll road," Desi said on Sunday as reported by kompas.com.
Desi also explained that the toll road would not have rest stops or gas stations. "However, we will still station officers along the toll road and provide tow trucks and ambulances for emergency situations."
