The '''Trans-Java Toll Road''' is a [[toll road|tolled]] [[controlled-access highway|expressway]] network that runs from [[Port of Merak]] in [[Cilegon]], the main link between the island of [[Sumatra]] and [[Java]], to [[Banyuwangi]], the eastern end of the island in [[Indonesia]] and the main link between the island of Java and Bali. It mainly runs through the northern coast of the island, except for the section between Semarang and Surabaya, where it runs through the centre and south of the island. It runs through five of the six provinces on the island of Java ([[Special Region of Yogyakarta|DI Yogyakarta]] being the sole exception), connecting the major cities of [[Jakarta]], [[Cirebon]], [[Semarang]], [[Surakarta|Solo]], and [[Surabaya]]. The toll road is the land transportation backbone of the island and is the most important toll road network of the country. The toll road has a total length of {{convert|1167|km|mi}}.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hadi |first=Nur |date=20 December 2017 |title=Jokowi Determined to Complete Trans Java Toll Road by 2019 |newspaper=Tempo |url=https://en.tempo.co/read/news/2017/12/20/056914242/Jokowi-Determined-to-Complete-Trans-Java-Toll-Road-by-2019 |accessdate=26 December 2017}}</ref>
The Trans-Jawa toll network was first conceived in whole in 1995, by President [[Suharto|Soeharto]] as a means to connect both ends of the island to help with distribution and general traffic between the major cities that it runs through. But, the [[1997 Asian financial crisis]] which affected the country, halted any developments.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |last1=Prabowo |first1=Dani |editor-last=Alexander |editor-first=Hilda |title=Tol Trans-Jawa Terwujud dalam Masa Kepemimpinan 6 Presiden |url=https://www.kompas.com/properti/read/2018/12/21/084044621/tol-trans-jawa-terwujud-dalam-masa-kepemimpinan-6-presiden?page=all |access-date=29 December 2022 |website=Kompas.com |date=21 December 2018 |publisher=Kompas}}</ref> The project was later revived by President [[Joko Widodo]], with the construction of the remaining sections starting between 2014 and 2016.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Syarizka |first1=Deandra |title=Tol Pemalang-Batang dan Batang-Semarang Mulai Dibangun |url=https://ekonomi.bisnis.com/read/20160617/45/558946/tol-pemalang-batang-dan-batang-semarang-mulai-dibangun |website=Bisnis.com |date=17 June 2016 |publisher=Bisnis |access-date=29 December 2022}}</ref> This revival is mainly due to the main [[North Coast Road (Java)|Pantura]] road getting increasingly congested, especially during the Eid and Christmas seasons.
Several sections of the toll road were completed in December 2018, fully connecting the sections between [[Port of Merak]] and [[Surabaya]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Suparman |first1=Fana |title=Jakarta-Surabaya Tersambung Tol, Warga Rasakan Manfaatnya |url=https://www.beritasatu.com/ekonomi/530203/jakartasurabaya-tersambung-tol-warga-rasakan-manfaatnya |website=beritasatu.com |publisher=Berita Satu |access-date=29 December 2022}}</ref> Meanwhile, the section connecting [[Surabaya]] and [[Probolinggo]] was completed a year later.<ref>{{cite web |title=Peresmian Jalan Tol Ruas Pasuruan-Probolinggo oleh Presiden Joko Widodo |url=https://www.wtr.co.id/id/peresmian-jalan-tol-ruas-pasuruan-probolinggo-oleh-presiden-joko-widodo/ |website=wtr.co.id |publisher=Waskita Karya |access-date=29 December 2022}}</ref> As of 2023, The section between [[Probolinggo]] and [[Banyuwangi]] had its ground breaking with targeted completion date of 2025. <ref>{{cite web |last1=Yanwardhana |first1=Emir |title=Mohon Maaf!
