JAKARTA - The Presidential Staff Office (KSP) ensures the construction of Bekasi–Cawang–Kampung Melayu (Becakayu) Toll Road continues to tambun area, Bekasi Regency.

This toll road will operate in 2024 after getting a commitment from PT Kresna Kusuma Dyandra Marga (KKDM) as a toll road business entity.

"To achieve this target, the Government is discussing accelerating recommendations from the Ministry of ATR/BPN as well as the revision of the Spatial Plan of West Java province and Bekasi Regency so that the location determination and other planning documents can be published soon," said Deputy I Chief of Presidential Staff Febry Calvin Tetelepta during the Coordination Meeting of Becakayu Toll Road at the Presidential Palace Bina Graha Building, quoted from Antara, Thursday, May 20.

Febry said that section 2B toll road will complete the existence of Becakayu Toll Road Section 1 to 2A Ujung from East Jakarta to Bekasi City. Section 2B Marga Jaya - Tambun has a length of 6.9 km. The groundbreaking target will take place in September 2021.

All stakeholders have agreed to advance the completion schedule of Section 2B from March 2025 to October 2024. The connection of Becakayu Toll Road to Tambun, said Febry, will increase the capacity of the road network and improve connectivity to industrial areas.

"Moreover, Becakayu Section 2B Toll Road will be connected to Jakarta - Cikampek Toll Road," said Febry.

On the same occasion, Director of Engineering and Operations of PT Kresna Kusuma Dyandra Marga (KKDM) Aryo Gunanto said PT KKDM as a toll road business entity, is committed to meeting the targets set by the Government.

Meanwhile, Director of Highways ministry of PUPR Budi Harimawan Semihardjo said, the next challenge is the availability of land procurement budget.

Related to this, Director of the State Asset Management Agency (LMAN) Qoswara asked the Ministry of PUPR to compile a list of priorities so that budget allocation can be prepared on target.

Becakayu Toll Road is a toll road that was launched since 1997. The toll road with a length of 23.67 km is needed to break down congestion on Kalimalang Highway and Jakarta - Cikampek Toll Road which often experience a buildup of vehicle volume, especially at Halim Toll Gate.

The results of the analysis of peak hour traffic performance on weekdays show, in the absence of Becakayu Toll Road, Jakarta - Cikampek Toll Road Cikunir - Bekasi Barat - Bekasi Timur - Tambun segment will experience overcapacity in 2025. The presence of Becakayu Toll Road is projected to parse the capacity up to 10 percent so that traffic will be smoother.

Not only that, Becakayu Section 2B Toll Road will also have a positive impact on the smoothness of west-east traffic in general, especially on the roads along the Becakayu Section 2B Toll Corridor.
