Batang-Semarang toll road in kilometer 335 + 200 is seen from the height around the Batang coal-fired steam power plant area, Central Java, on Monday (17/12/2018). The Batang-Semarang toll road is scheduled to be inaugurated by President Joko Widodo on December 20 and is expected to be operational before Christmas and New Year holiday
Two hundred and 10 years since Governor General Herman Willem Daendels began the construction of the Jl. Raya Pos highway connecting Anyer in Banten, West Java, and Panarukan in East Java, Java finally has a new road that has the function and scale equivalent to "Daendels Road".
The trans-Java toll road connecting Merak and Pasuruan will be officially opened today. For those accustomed to the various delays of infrastructure development by the government since independence, the opening of the new toll road is like a dream as it has been quickly realized.
