BANDUNG: Motorists for the moment can travel for free on the
new 41.3-km Cipularang toll road, which was opened on Tuesday at
6 a.m. by developer PT Jasa Marga.

Company official Singgih S., said the road was opened earlier
than expected after many motorists expressed their desire to try
it out.

Connecting Cikampek, Purwakarta and Padalarang, the route had
final repairs made to it on Monday with a landslide cleared away.

"We are accommodating the people's desire for speedy a Jakarta
to Bandung trip," Singgih said.

The company would only begin charging motorists when it was
given permits to require a proposed Rp 29,000 (US$3.2) toll, he
said. -- JP
