Palembang–Indralaya Toll Road (shortened to Palindra Toll Road) is a toll road in South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This toll road is part of Trans-Sumatra Toll Road network.

History

Section I of this toll road (Palembang-Pemulutan) was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo on 12 October 2017.[1]

The Minister of Public Works and Housing, Basuki Hadimuljono, said that the construction of the toll road will be integrated with the development of the Merak-Bakauheni port. The road from the port will be connected with Palembang to the Tanjung Api-Api (TAA) port as part of President Joko Widodo's Sea Toll Program.[2]

The construction of Palindra Toll Road is dominated by swampy lands with heavy terrain which requires a special construction technique using Vacuum Consolidation Method (VCM). The planned lane on this toll road is 100km/h with 2x2 lanes in the early stages and 2x3 in the final stages.[3]

The toll road was free since its inauguration until the end of 2017.[4]
