JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works (PU) said that the development of expressways or new toll roads is proposed to no longer receive support from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN).

The Director General of Infrastructure Financing at the Ministry of Public Works, Rachman Arief Dienaputra, said that if originally the construction of toll roads with the Government and Business Entity Cooperation (PPP) scheme received construction support using the APBN, this time this matter would be removed.

"The Minister (Dody Hanggodo) has confirmed that the KPBU does not have government support (for) its construction," said Rachman Arief when met at the PU Ministry office, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 19.

Even so, said Rachman Arief, government support will be given to developments in the area around the project. Through this, it is hoped that the daily volume of traffic in the toll road project to be developed will increase.

"This means that so that it can benefit from regional development to reduce toll rates to reduce concessions," he concluded.

Meanwhile, referring to Book II of the Financial Note and the RAPBN of FY 2026, the infrastructure budget for the 2026 RAPBN is merged into the economic function budget set at IDR 820.4 trillion.

The budget only includes the completion of the construction of a new toll road along 28.19 kilometers (km). However, the government has not detailed exactly which sections will just be built.

Later, the APBN will also be rolled out to complete the toll road KPBU projects which are currently in the construction stage.
