Toll road in East Java

Surabaya–Gempol Toll Road is a toll road in East Java, Indonesia. This 37 kilometers (23 mi) highway connects Surabaya City in the north with Porong in the south. This toll road passes Surabaya and Sidoarjo. It is part of the Trans-Java Expressway. The original length of this toll road from Surabaya to Gempol was 43 kilometers (27 mi) long, but the 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) part of this toll road is closed due to the overflow of Lapindo Mudflow that has inundated the Porong–Gempol section of the Surabaya–Gempol toll road since 2006.[1]

History

The toll road has been operating since 1986, and has served as the primary access for Surabaya–Malang or Surabaya–Pasuruan routes, which are among East Java's main industrial areas.[2]

Since August 2006, this toll road has been disrupted due to the mud flood event that inundated this toll road at a point 36 kilometers (22 mi) from Surabaya, specifically in Siring Village, Porong Sub-district, Sidoarjo Regency. The Porong–Gempol Toll Road is basically a relocation of Porong–Gempol segment of the Surabaya–Gempol Toll Road that was drowned by mud flow; it was inaugurated on 20 December 2018.[3]
