The Provincial Government together with the central government ensures the plan to build nine new toll road sections that will begin in 2026. One of the strategic projects that becomes the main focus is the Gedebage–Tasikmalaya–Cilacap Toll Road or Getaci. The total planned project length reaches approximately 266.66 kilometers with an estimated investment of Rp134.5 trillion for the 2025–2029 development period. The Governor of West Java emphasized that the infrastructure development is not merely adding road sections, but building an integrated intercity and interregional connectivity system from the north to the south of West Java. Getaci and Eight Other Toll Roads Enter Realization Stage The plan to develop nine new toll roads in West Java was previously conveyed through an official statement on February 22, 2026. In its official post, Bappeda stated, “The central government plans to build 9 new toll road sections in the West Java Province area in the 2025–2029 period with a total length of ±266.66 km and an investment indication of Rp134.5 Trillion,” it wrote. The project covers several strategic corridors that have long been known to have high traffic density levels, especially the connecting route from Bandung to East Priangan and the southern region of West Java. The Getaci Toll Road, especially the Gedebage–Tasikmalaya segment, becomes one of the initial development focuses because it is considered capable of significantly reducing travel time. Geographically, the development of this section is expected to open new economic access from the Bandung metropolitan area to Tasikmalaya, Garut, Ciamis to Pangandaran. So far, the route often experiences congestion during holiday seasons and weekends.

In addition to Getaci, the other eight sections are designed to strengthen the distribution network of goods and services in industrial areas as well as agricultural zones in West Java. The regional government states that better connectivity will have a direct impact on the growth of peripheral areas. KDM Targets Integrated Road System by 2027 Governor Dedi Mulyadi on several occasions emphasized the importance of comprehensive road system integration. He stated that toll road development must be aligned with improving the quality of national, provincial, regency, and village roads. According to him, connectivity must not stop at toll exits. Connecting roads to people’s economic centers must also be in good condition so that the benefits of infrastructure can be directly felt by the community. He targets that by 2027 all road networks in West Java will be fully connected in stable condition. This target includes synchronization between national strategic projects and regional development planning.

Intensive coordination efforts with the central government are also carried out so that the processes of planning, land acquisition, and construction run according to schedule. The provincial government expressed full support for accelerating projects included in the national priority list. The development of these nine toll road sections is projected to become a driver of regional economic growth. With an estimated investment reaching Rp134.5 trillion, the project not only creates jobs during the construction period, but also increases regional competitiveness after operation. Travel time efficiency becomes one of the main expected benefits. Travel from Bandung to the southern region of West Java, which currently takes hours, is projected to be significantly reduced after the Getaci section operates.

In addition, better connectivity will facilitate the distribution of logistics, agricultural products, and MSME products from regions to market centers. Economic equity is also expected to no longer be concentrated in the northern part of West Java. With the construction phase starting in 2026, the government is optimistic that this strategic project can accelerate the transformation of West Java’s infrastructure. Comprehensive connectivity is believed to become an important foundation for long-term regional economic growth.
