JAKARTA - The Probolinggo 'Situbondo' Banyuwangi (Prosiwangi) toll road is ready to be opened functionally during the Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 periods (Nataru 2025/2026). The policy is to support smooth homecoming, holidays and logistics distribution.
Quoted from the upload on the official Instagram account @kementerianpu, Friday, December 5, the Prosiwangi Toll Road has a total length of up to 175.44 kilometers (km) from the Gending area to Ketapang. The toll road work is carried out in two stages, consisting of the first stage for Section 1-3 (Gending Besuki) and the second stage for Section 4-7 (Besuki Ketapang).
"This new channel also strengthens connectivity from west to east Java Island, accelerates mobility and encourages regional economic growth," wrote the Instagram account.
Meanwhile, the two Prosiwangi Toll sections that have been opened functionally have been tested for function and operation (ULFO) on 22-24 October 2025. In particular, Section 1 (Gending'Kraksaan) along 12.88 km and Section 2 (Paiton) along 11.20 km.
PU Minister Dody Hanggodo said that the construction of the Trans Java Toll Road is not only infrastructure, but also has a strategic meaning in strengthening the national economy.
In addition, toll road construction can reduce the Incremental Capital Output Ratio (ICOR). The smoother the distribution of goods and services, the higher the efficiency of investment, so that the benefits of development can be felt greater by the community.
