10 Longest Flyovers in Jakarta in 2020

The very high population mobility in Jakarta and its surrounding areas, coupled with heavy traffic congestion, necessitates the construction of flyovers as an alternative solution. The construction of these flyovers is crucial for alleviating traffic jams, both at traffic lights and at railway crossings.

There are 10 of the longest flyovers in Jakarta. The Antasari flyover, measuring 5,013 meters in length and 18 meters in width, is the longest in Jakarta.

The second longest is the Kampung Melayu-Tanah Abang (Phase I) flyover, with a length of 3,364 meters. This is followed by the Daan Mogot flyover (1,552 meters), the Bandengan flyover (1,414 meters), and the Terminal Pulo Gebang flyover (1,244 meters), which ranks fifth.

The next longest flyovers are located at Tanjung Barat South Side (1,068 meters), Tanjung Barat North Side (1,028 meters), and Pasar Pagi (852 meters). Following these are the Kebayoran Lama flyover (830 meters) and the Tubagus Angke flyover (800 meters).

According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), there were 53 flyover sections in the capital city in 2020. The breakdown shows that 18 sections were built by the Ministry of Public Works (PU), and 35 sections were built by the Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemda DKI Jakarta).

Of the 10 longest flyovers in Jakarta, 7 were built by the Jakarta Provincial Government. The remaining 3 flyovers – Tanjung Barat South Side, Tanjung Barat North Side, and Kebayoran Lama – were built by the Ministry of Public Works.
