Having a total length of 98 kilometres (61 mi), this toll road is a part of the Trans-Java Toll Road and divided into 2 sections: the 26 kilometres (16 mi) long Jakarta–Tangerang Toll Road (operated by Jasa Marga)[1] and the 72 kilometres (45 mi) long Tangerang–Merak Toll Road (operated by Marga Mandalasakti).[2] It is generally used by people to travel back and forth between Sumatra (through ferry via the Sunda Strait) and the cities of Java. This toll road is also a part of Asian Highway 2.

History[edit]

Westbound Jakarta–Merak Toll Road heading to Merak in 2018

The Jakarta–Merak Toll Road is the second toll road to be opened in Indonesia after the Jagorawi Toll Road in 1978. The first westbound exit is located at Kebon Jeruk. It also has exits in Tangerang, Balaraja, Cikande, Ciujung, Serang, Pandeglang and Cilegon, before ending at Merak.

On 9 April 2017, the Karang Tengah toll gate was abolished due to constant traffic congestions around the vicinity.[3]
