Data from the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing shows that the length of toll roads currently operating in Indonesia reaches 984 kilometers. The majority (93 percent) of this length is located on Java, with the remainder on Sumatra (4 percent) and Sulawesi (2 percent).
By 2025, the proportion of toll roads is expected to change. Sumatra will then have 47 percent of Indonesia's toll roads, one percent more than the length of toll roads on Java. The planned Trans-Sumatra toll road, currently under intensive construction, will have a length of 2,865 kilometers.
The Ministry of Public Works states that the current construction of toll roads is a strategic government program aimed at reducing national logistics costs. These freeways serve to connect regions, stimulate regional economies, promote equitable development, and make transportation more efficient.
