Indonesia infrastructure projects and mobility updates

Indonesia is undertaking several infrastructure projects and preparing for significant year-end mobility. The Ministry of Public Works is elevating the Semarang-Demak national road, specifically the Kaligawe-Demak section, by 1 meter to mitigate tidal flooding. This project is targeted for completion by December 15, 2026, to ensure smooth logistics and travel during the Christmas and New Year period.

In Jakarta, Transjakarta will begin constructing elevator facilities at the Dukuh Atas BRT station on November 9, 2026, to improve accessibility for the elderly and people with disabilities. Additionally, Governor Pramono Anung has decided to resume the construction of the Muara Karang Non-Toll Road, which has been stalled for over a decade, with a target completion within three months.

Regarding regional travel, the Ministry of Transportation predicts that mobility during the 2026/2027 holiday season will reach 120 million people. To support this, the government has allocated approximately Rp883 billion in transportation stimulus, including VAT discounts on flight tickets. Meanwhile, road closures and maintenance are scheduled in Depok on Jalan Raya Sawangan and across several Jakarta toll roads, including the Jakarta-Tangerang and Inner City tolls, through early November 2026.
