West Java Police: Japek II Southern Toll Road to Open Functionally During Eid 2026
Bandung — The West Java Regional Police have ensured that the Jakarta-Cikampek (Japek) II Southern toll road is ready to be opened functionally during the Eid 2026 exodus and return journey as an effort to ease vehicle congestion.
Kombes Pol Raydian Kokrosono, Director of Traffic at the West Java Regional Police, stated that the route is one of the sections being prepared following inspections conducted jointly with the National Traffic Police Commander and the West Java Regional Police Chief.
“From the results of the latest inspection by the National Traffic Police Commander and the Regional Police Chief, Japek II Southern will be opened functionally, especially during the return journey,” Raydian said in Bandung on Friday.
According to him, the opening of the route is expected to distribute vehicle traffic from Central Java towards Jakarta, thereby reducing congestion on the main toll road.
In addition to Japek II Southern, the Bocimi toll road section 3, spanning approximately 6 kilometres connecting Parungkuda to Karangtengah, also has the potential to be opened functionally.
“This is to prevent congestion at Cibadak Market,” he said.
Raydian emphasised that the opening of the routes is situational and will be determined based on traffic counting results during both the exodus and return journey periods.
“If necessary, we will make adjustments accordingly,” he said.
Meanwhile, the West Java Regional Police have also begun finalising preparations for the Eid exodus and return journey through a traffic function working meeting as part of preparations for Operation Ketupat 2026.
Raydian explained that the meeting is a crucial step to ensure security operations run optimally.
“A number of preparations have been undertaken, ranging from cross-sectoral coordination, field surveys, to synergy with various stakeholders,” he said.
In Operation Ketupat 2026, there are five security clusters receiving attention: the toll road cluster, arterial roads particularly the southern route, tourist attractions, places of worship, and crossings such as airports and ports.
