        "summary": "The ambitious Gedebage-Tasikmalaya-Cilacap (Getaci) toll road project, designed to be Indonesia's longest at 206.65 km spanning West Java and Central Java, has failed to attract investors due to low traffic projections and high construction costs in challenging terrain. Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo highlighted the market's lack of interest, prompting the government to consider injecting funds or redirecting resources to more urgent infrastructure like flood control dams in Karawang and Bekasi. Consequently, the Trans-Sumatra toll road segment Terpeka retains its status as the longest operational toll road in the country.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia\u2019s dream of having a new toll road with the title of the\nlongest single section appears to be stalled at the auction table. The\nGedebage-Tasikmalaya-Cilacap Toll Road (Getaci) project, which was\ntouted to seize the crown of the longest toll road in the country, now\nbears an unpleasant status: a mega project with few interested parties.\nThe failure of Getaci to attract investor interest so far serves as an\nalarm for the government that the \u201clongest\u201d title alone is not strong\nenough to guarantee the investment viability of an infrastructure\nproject. By design, the Getaci Toll is a prestigious project designed to\nspan two provinces at once, namely West Java (Jabar) and Central Java\n(Jateng). With a total length of 206.65 km, this toll road should\nconnect economic hubs from Bandung to Cilacap. The route length\nstretches 206.65 km, with West Java accounting for 171.27 km and Central\nJava 35.38 km. The investment value needed to build this toll road is Rp\n56.2 trillion with a 40-year concession period. Public Works Minister\nDody Hanggodo openly acknowledged that the main challenge for Getaci is\nthe low market interest. Construction costs that have ballooned due to\nthe difficult terrain in southern West Java are not commensurate with\nvehicle traffic projections. \u201cUsually, if a project we offer doesn\u2019t\nattract much interest, it\u2019s because the traffic is low,\u201d said Dody on\nFriday (10\/4\/2026). Dody also gave critical signals regarding budget\npriorities. The government is now faced with a difficult choice:\ninjecting funds (chipping in) to make Getaci sell, or redirecting focus\nto other more urgent infrastructure such as flood control in Karawang\nand Bekasi through the Cibeet and Cijurey Dams. Getaci\u2019s temporary\nfailure to be built keeps the Terpeka Toll as the record holder for the\nlongest fully operational toll road in Indonesia. Unlike Getaci, which\nis still hanging in the balance, Terpeka has become the backbone of\nmobility in Sumatra.<\/p>",
