Jakarta Inner Ring Road

The stretch of Jakarta Inner Ring Road began with the opening of Jalan Jenderal Gatot Subroto which intersect the Sudirman Road at the Semanggi cloverleaf bridge which already under construction since the 1960s.[1] In the early 1970s, the Gatot Subroto Road had continued past Tebet and becoming M.T. Haryono Road to Cawang and meet the junction with Major Jendral Panjaitan Road. In the 1970s, another major road runs Jendral Achmad Yani Road and Laksamana Yos Sudarso Road were established to the far east of Jakarta. This road would connect the Semanggi cloverleaf interchange all the way to the port Tanjung Priok. This vitally important highway which connects Central Jakarta directly with the port is the prototype of Jakarta Inner Ring Road, known then as "Jakarta Bypass", so called because the new connection enabling trucks to "bypass the rest of Jakarta while traveling to and from the port." Construction of Jakarta Bypass was funded using the United States financial assistant and was completed in 1963.[2]
