FAJAR.CO.ID, SOLO — The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) together with the Toll Road Business Entity (BUJT) continue to accelerate the completion of the Solo-Jogjakarta-NYIA Kulonprogo Toll Road National Strategic Project (PSN) to improve connectivity and unravel congestion in Central Java Province and DI Jogjakarta.
PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono said that currently the construction is being completed, namely Section 1 from Kartosuro to Purwomartani Interchange (SS), Sleman Regency with a target of completion in 2024.
“For the PSN Solo-Jogja Toll Road, hopefully in 2024 it can be used by the community until Purwomartani, because this toll road has been eagerly awaited,” Basuki said in an official statement, Sunday (23/7).
He explained, the construction of the 42.38 km Solo-Jogjakarta-NYIA Kulonprogo Toll Road Section 1 was carried out by contractor PT Jogjasolo Marga Makmur in 2 packages. Includes Section 1 package 1.1 Kartasura-Klaten section of 22.30 km and Section 1 package 1.2 of the Klaten-Purwomartani section of 20.08 km.

“The community is eagerly awaiting this toll road because more than 25,000 vehicles pass through Solo-Jogja every day, so it’s already crowded. Even at certain periods it’s very congested. We’ll finish it soon so that the traffic will run even smoother,” explained Minister Basuki.
For the record, the PUPR Ministry is continuing the construction of Solo-Jogjakarta-NYIA Kulonprogo Section II Purwomartani-Gamping along 23.42 km which is divided into 2 packages.
