A NEW national strategic infrastructure project—a toll road touted to become the longest in Indonesia upon completion—is set to begin construction in 2028. This new toll road will span 206.65-kilometers, traversing the southern regions of West Java and Central Java provinces.
It will pass through eight local government areas: Bandung Regency, Garut Regency, Tasikmalaya Regency, Tasikmalaya City, Ciamis Regency, Banjar City, and Pangandaran Regency, before terminating in Cilacap Regency. This expressway is known as the Gedebage-Tasikmalaya-Cilacap Toll Road, or the Getaci Toll Road.
The toll road will connect the two provinces of West Java and Central Java. This information was shared during a media briefing held at the office in Jakarta some time ago. Ni Komang Rasminiati, Acting Director General of Infrastructure Financing (DJPI) at the Ministry of Public Works, stated that the Ministry of Finance has expressed its willingness to assist in realizing the construction of the Getaci Toll Road through the Project Development Facility (PDF) scheme.
“The Ministry of Finance will assign a state-owned enterprise (BUMN) under its purview to handle the preparation of the necessary documents or the project preparation itself,” said Komang.
Komang explained that several documents—ranging from the Environmental Impact Analysis (Amdal) and environmental permits to the Traffic Impact Analysis (Andalalin) and the Land Acquisition Planning Document (DPPT)—are currently being prepared.
“The hope is that this PDF facility will be provided from the preparation stage through to the transaction or auction phase. This process is estimated to take approximately two years. That is the outlook for the Getaci project’s progress,” he said.
With the target of completing documentation and the auction process within the next two years, the Getaci Toll Road project is projected to enter the construction phase starting in 2028. [sources/special photo]
