Solo–Kertosono Toll Road (Soker Toll Road) is part of Trans-Java toll road, where in the west it connects to Semarang–Solo Toll Road, and in the east it connects to Kertosono–Mojokerto Toll Road. The road will pass through eight regions: Boyolali Regency, Karanganyar Regency, Solo City, Sragen Regency in Central Java Province, and Ngawi, Madiun, Nganjuk and Jombang Regency in East Java Province. When commencing operation, Solo–Kertosono Toll Road, known as Soker Toll Road, will be the longest toll road in Indonesia.[1] The toll road is expected to be operational by 2017.[2]

History

Administratively, Soker Toll Road with a total length of 177.12 km comprise two segments, segment Solo–Mantingan–Ngawi and segment Ngawi–Kertosono. The length of Solo–Mantingan–Ngawi toll road is 90.1 kilometer, while the length of Ngawi–Kertosono is 87.02 kilometer. Hence, in the beginning, Soker Toll Road was designed as two separate toll roads. However, during its tender process, no investors showed interest in bidding these two toll roads except one bidder, which is PT Thiess Contractors Indonesia. In June 28, 2011, Toll Road Concession Agreement (PPJT) amendment has been signed in Jakarta.[3] With this concession agreement, segment Solo-Mantingan-Ngawi will be under PT Solo–Ngawi Jaya, while segment Ngawi-Kertosono will be under PT Ngawi–Kertosono Jaya. Both of this companies are subsidiaries of PT Thiess Contractors Indonesia. Since both of toll road concessions have been awarded to the same company, these two toll roads usually are referred as Solo–Kertosono Toll Road, or Soker Toll Road. Construction started in 2012 and the company aimed to finish the project in 2014, but the company was only able to acquire 80 percent of the needed land. The construction has been left idle due to financing and land clearing difficulties. Then State-run toll road operator Jasa Marga and state-owned construction company Waskita Karya taken over from Thiess Contractors in 2015, with about Rp 439 billion (US$34.15 million). Jasa Marga now owns 60 percent of the shares in the project, while Waskita Karya owns the remaining 40 percent.[4]

Construction

Solo-Ngawi Toll has an investment value of Rp5.14 trillion with rinician construction cost Rp3.2 trillion and land cost Rp1.78 trillion. While the Ngawi-Kertosono toll road, the investment value reached Rp3, 83 trillion with construction costs of Rp2, 36 trillion and land costs Rp1, 08 trillion. Thus, the total investment of the Solo-Ngawi-Kertosono segment is worth Rp8.97 trillion.[5] Two gates of the Surakarta-Kertosono toll road in Ngasem, Boyolali and Klodran in Karanganyar were used to facilitate travelers during the Idul Fitri exodus in 2017.[6]
