Palembang, S Sumatra, Feb. 11 -- Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said the Kayu Agung-Palembang-Betung (Kapalbetung) toll is targeted for limited use by H-10 of Eid 2026 to ease holiday travel.

"This toll is vital for regional connectivity. We aim for limited operation before Eid, around H-10, after a thorough safety inspection," AHY said during a visit to the Musi V Bridge construction site in Palembang, South Sumatra, on Wednesday.

He said the Kapalbetung toll would cut travel time between Palembang and Betung from three to four hours to about one hour, improving productivity and reducing traffic congestion during Eid departures and returns.

Safety remains a top priority...
