President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo Monday (08/01) inaugurated the Pamulang-Cinere-Raya Bogor toll road, at the North Limo Toll Gate, Depok City, West Java. The 14.8-kilometer toll road was built with a total investment of Rp4 trillion.

“Thank God, this morning we inaugurated the Pamulang-Cinere-Raya Bogor toll road with a total length of 14.8 kilometers and the total investment spent was Rp4 trillion,” said the President.

The President said that this infrastructure will complement the existing toll road network structure in the Greater Jakarta (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi/Jabodetabek) area which includes the Jakarta Inner Ring Road, the Jakarta Outer Ring Road 1, and the Jakarta Outer Ring Road 2 (JORR II).

“This toll road that we are inaugurating is a part of JORR II whose completion still needs only a few kilometers. I asked the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing earlier and I got the answer that it will be completed in the second quarter of this year,” said the President.

The Head of State expressed hope that the operation of the Pamulang-Cinere-Raya Bogor Toll Road can provide more alternative roads for the community to reach places in Jabodetabek. This toll road is also expected to increase mobility and reduce congestion.

“This toll road will facilitate the mobility of people, goods, and logistics and we hope it will reduce congestion and people will have a choice and an alternative by using a more spacious road,” he said. (FID/UN) (TM/MUR)
