The Cilegon City Government is undertaking various infrastructure and safety initiatives. To improve traffic safety at the Pondok Cilegon Indah traffic light, the Department of Transportation is closing specific U-turn lanes to prevent motorists from driving against the flow of traffic, redirecting them via the South Ring Road (JLS).

Public lighting improvements are also underway, with plans to repair or replace 1,050 street lights between 2026 and 2027. Additionally, road repairs on the Ciwandan National Road, funded by the state budget, are expected to conclude by late September 2026 following delays caused by cost escalations.

Regarding major road projects, the government has canceled its 2026 land acquisition plan for the North Ring Road (JLU) due to obstacles in the planning stage. The allocated Rp35 billion budget has been redirected to other regional government programs through the 2026 Revised Regional Budget, though officials intend to reallocate those funds for JLU land acquisition in 2027.
