SUMATRA, BALINEWS – PT Hutama Karya (Persero) is carrying out maintenance work on three sections of the Trans-Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS), namely the Binjai–Langsa, Pekanbaru–Dumai (Permai), and Terbanggi Besar–Kayu Agung (Terpeka) toll roads. The company is also constructing a new Mataram Jaya Toll Exit at KM 274 on the Terpeka Toll Road to improve regional connectivity in South Sumatra.
The maintenance work is scheduled to take place between October and November 2026, depending on the location and type of work. The initiatives aim to maintain road quality, improve safety, and ensure smoother journeys for toll road users.
Hamdani, Executive Vice President of Corporate Secretary at Hutama Karya, said the work was being carried out in stages, taking into account site conditions and traffic flow.
“The maintenance work is part of Hutama Karya’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that every toll road under our management remains in optimal condition,” Hamdani said.
The maintenance work is being carried out by PT Hakaaston (HKA), a subsidiary of Hutama Karya responsible for toll road operations and infrastructure maintenance.
On the Binjai–Langsa Toll Road, maintenance is being conducted on the approach embankment of the Batang Serangan Bridge between KM 55+100 and KM 55+300, with completion targeted for the end of November 2026. Rigid pavement reconstruction is also underway at KM 62+900 on Lane 1 and Lane 2 of the A carriageway, with completion expected by the end of October 2026.
On the Pekanbaru–Dumai Toll Road, work focuses on flexible pavement repairs at four locations on Lane 2 of the A carriageway: KM 91+240 to KM 91+625, KM 91+800 to KM 92+000, KM 94+793 to KM 94+826, and KM 101+720 to KM 101+740. The work is scheduled for October 16–28, 2026.
Meanwhile, rigid pavement reconstruction on the Terpeka Toll Road is taking place at four locations on Lane 1 of the A carriageway: KM 172+315 to KM 172+325, KM 165+615 to KM 165+620, KM 174+260 to KM 174+270, and KM 165+450 to KM 165+460. The work is also scheduled for October 16–28, 2026.
In addition to the maintenance work, Hutama Karya is constructing a barrier gate at KM 281 and the Mataram Jaya Toll Exit at KM 274 on the Terpeka Toll Road. The new access is expected to improve travel to and from Lempuing District in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, while supporting goods distribution and local economic activity.
During construction, Hutama Karya is implementing traffic management measures, including a lane narrowing between KM 282 and KM 280 on the Palembang-to-Lampung route.
Motorists are advised to remain alert, reduce their speed, maintain a safe following distance, and comply with traffic signs and instructions from officers near the work zones. Hutama Karya and HKA are also deploying personnel and installing warning signs and work-zone safety equipment to help protect road users and workers.
Hamdani said routine maintenance and the development of new access points were part of the company’s efforts to maintain service quality and extend the benefits of improved toll road connectivity to local communities.
