Jasamarga Metropolitan Tollroad will implement toll rate discounts\nand fee waivers on toll roads during the 2026 Eid exodus and return\njourney to reduce traffic congestion during this period.<\/p>\n
Widyatmiko Nursetaji, Senior General Manager of Jasamarga\nMetropolitan Tollroad Regional Division, stated that the company is\nconsidering opening the Japek II South toll route to alleviate\ncongestion and will waive tolls on this route during Eid. \u201cThis route\nwill be completely free of charge for users if traffic is diverted\nthere. From Sadang to Japek South, it will be free,\u201d he said in Bandung\non Friday, 13 March.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that the Japek II South toll road waiver will only\napply during the Eid return journey, specifically for traffic travelling\nfrom Bandung towards Jakarta. \u201cSo it will only be during the return\njourney,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n
Although technically ready for full 24-hour operation beginning 15\nMarch, the opening of Japek II South will be situational in nature.\nAccording to him, the decision to open the route rests with the police,\ntaking into account congestion conditions at critical points. \u201cThis\ndiscretionary measure will be implemented if significant vehicle\naccumulation occurs, particularly at KM 66 heading towards Jakarta or\ncongestion at the Cikampek Utama toll gate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Japek II South, he added, spans 52 kilometres and features several\nexit gates. \u201cFor traffic from Bandung, entry is via the Sadang\nfunctional route, and exits are available at Kutanegara, Bojongmangu,\nSukaragam, and the Setu Junction,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
In addition, Jasamarga will implement a 30 per cent toll discount on\nthe Cipularang and Cisumdawu toll routes to support the 2026 Eid\nmomentum. This discount applies to the longest-distance toll road users\nin the Cipularang-Padaleunyi cluster, specifically those entering from\nKalihurip Utama North Gate and exiting at Cisumdawu Utama. \u201cThe discount\napplies to the longest-distance users entering from Kalihurip Utama and\nexiting at Cisumdawu Utama,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The discount will be effective for outbound traffic from 15 March\n(00.00) through 17 March (23.59). For return traffic, the same discount\nwill apply from 26 March (00.00) through 28 March (23.59).<\/p>\n
Widyatmiko explained that Jasamarga is implementing the discount to\nencourage travellers to depart earlier. \u201cWe hope travellers will be\nattracted by the discounted rates on those dates, so travellers do not\naccumulate at peak times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
With this combination of toll discounts and free alternative routes,\ntraffic congestion on main routes is expected to ease, making journeys\nsmoother. \u201cWe hope people will spread out their departures, not\nconcentrating at one time and one toll access point,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
Peak outbound traffic is predicted for 14\u201315 March and 18\u201319 March\n2026. Peak return traffic is forecast for 25\u201326 March and 28\u201329 March\n2026.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/japek-ii-south-toll-road-to-open-and-be-waived-during-eid-return-traffic-1773391946", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
